That’s odd. When I posted it showed a link to the ad. Let’s try that again. Bonus, he’ll trade for guns.

Very cool! The local shops around here use a Chevrolet Spark (how does it haul anything? 0_o) and a first-gen GMC Canyon.

In an awful lot of ads in the US, guns seem to be an accepted payment method. If I tried this in France, I guess the police would be visiting within an hour :)
Seriously though, what’s up with guns as payment? Is that really a thing? If so, why?

If that brown thing in the tailgate doesn’t count as a rust, I wonder how’s the rust in the floor looking like.

Among rednecks, yep, it’s a thing.
Guns have value and are desirable to a lot of people in the US. And, trading is something that’s a thing on Craigslist, so if you want guns, why not ask for guns? And, private party firearm transfers in the US are basically unregulated...
(I mean, it’s harder to sell a car private party in the US than a gun - a car, you have to transfer a title, and the state tracks who owns which VIN. Guns? Hahahaha, no.)

Around me I see several Festivas and either Rangers or S10s.
They don’t carry a whole lot of big parts actually in store. Engines and transmissions are generally ordered and drop shipped. If you’re mainly delivering shocks, brake parts, and sensors a compact car is plenty.

I’ve never traded a gun for some other commodity. I have traded a gun for a different gun, but that was with a hunting buddy so not quite the same as doing it with a stranger.
I have however traded ammunition for car parts. It was ammunition for a 100 year old French rifle owned by a gentleman in his 80's. I felt comfortable that he wasn’t planning to use it to rob the corner gas station.

Yeah tailgate, beneath the right brake light, and if there’s no rust in that bed I would be shocked.

That would make an awesome LeMons vehicle if you could get it cheaper.

That seems really odd to me.
Then again, so is carrying a gun. It’s really not integrated in our culture here.
The only real guns I saw here were from a cop friend and another friend who has a permit, had a gun for a while, but sold it after some time because it’s a pain in the ass for a civilian to own a gun.

I don’t own any guns myself, but even if I did, I’d be leery as hell of trading them for something else, or different guns. What if the gun you trade away is used to commit a crime and the new owner never registered it? Or what if the gun you got committed a crime? Way too many variables for my liking.

He said “ only rust in floor on drivers side ”. So, there’s only rust, no sheetmetal.

I know there was one location near a place I used to live that still had S10's with the hats. That would’ve only been about 5 years ago.

Feels like longer than that. Maybe they were just phased out sooner in my area.

Probably a matter of when individual shops replaced their trucks.
