Buy it, sell it, negotiate, haggle, drag it out from under the workbench or behind the garage and make it someone else's problem!

'82 Datsun Diesel Truck - $1250

This truck gets 35-40 miles per gallon and the engine is still in good shape. It is running on biodiesel. We bought it for our business over a year ago with the intention of restoring it, but we decided we needed a bigger truck with more carrying capacity. This truck still needs work and I would like to find someone who is interested in getting it back to a daily runner. We paid $1650 for it and have made the following repairs:
Shocks,
rear brake lights and turn signals,
oil change,
brakes (although the rotors could use some attention)

We recently had a mechanic do the following repairs that cost $566.11:
*new starter
*new idler arm
*new brake hoses

It still needs work to get it into shape. Here's the list the mechanic gave us:
*Clutch chatters
*Speedometer does not work
*E-brake does not work
*Transmission leaks and the transmission bearing is noisy
*Exhaust pipe @manifold leaks and is loose
*Windshield cracked

The mileage on the truck says a little over 224,000. The speedometer was broken when we bought it, so I don't know how many miles are on it, but the engine fires right up. The mechanic said the engine was the best part of the truck and he thought it was well worth keeping on the road with a bit more work. We have the paper work from the mechanic for you to look at.

The title is good and it has current tags.
We're asking $1250, but will consider all reasonable offers

Please call me with questions.
