Sold

Damn, $500.00 more than I wanted to spend, but if I had it in my budget I'd jump on it in a minute even though it's carbed.

Sorry man I cant go lower. Maybe it wont sell for awhile and you will have sometime to save up.

[Rocksurfer]

Doubt it, that'll sell fast for that price.

I can vouch for the craigslist issues.  FLAKE CITY!  I've had it happen when trying to purchase and probably seemed a little flaky to a couple sellers too.  There are good people using craigslist, but it's an idiot magnet for sure!

Free bump, you should be able to sell this thing fairly easily.

Ok Hears the deal. The truck is an 87 not a 86, opps.

Anyway, I have decided that since I have barely driven the truck I will put some miles on it in the next few days. Just to make sure there are no bugs that I have not listed.

I washed and cleaned the truck as much as I care to clean an old truck. Its not perfect, but its fine. The truck does hesitate a little under hard acceleration, but it runs great. I would keep it if I didnt need the money. And the brake light does stay on even after you take the ebrake off. The brakes work fine though. I tested them well today

Also I just had the oil changed and all the fluids checked today. The windshield sprayer still works! Going through the glove box shows newer shocks and battery.

Ummmmm hell. 

Tryed to smog it today, I stopped at a gas station to get a soda, came back out started the truck and it wouldnt idle. Stopped by my smog place told them nevermind, and started my drive home. After a few minutes of driving and it would idle fine?

I think ok cool, almost home stop in a different smog station to get the test. The guy drives it in the bay and now it wont idle again? Drive it around a few minutes towards home and its fine again!!!

So anyway here what im going to do. If you buy it like it is running funny and no smog I will sell it for $1750. I figure $200 is more than enough to fix it, and the $50 is for a smog when its fixed.

Be fast if you want this cause if I fix it this weekend the price stays the same.
