This is SHOCKINGLY rust free and the interior appears to be in immaculate shape, not really my style on the seats but damn, it’s a lot of not rusty truck.

Biggest complaint is the terrible tail light replacements.

I normally go to this dealer site kind of as a joke, they have some hysterically odd ball vehicles at time, I used to live in that town and in my old job drove by every day, always interesting what you find at this odd little lot.

Edit: For those who don’t want to click through - $6,500

195k on the odometer? You could get at least another 75k out of that engine!

If I could afford no miles to the gallon it would be in my drive way this second.

Even the name of that dealer is sketchy. I wonder how much salvage is in the probably a salvage title.

I’ve heard these guys are a touch more honest than the guys down the road “roadrunnerautosales” Who out right lie to potential customers about cars not being in accidents.

I can’t believe it’s not rusty. I don’t know how they found a garage big enough for it here in Michigan unless they brought it up from the south.

Plane hanger?

Nice shape, but almost $7k for a 200k/mile Ford? CP.

Possibly covered in bondo?

Also as a side note, the interior is on the hideous end of the spectrum.

$6500 is a bit much. $4000 would be great.

This would be very popular with the South. Only thing to make it better would be the Navistar T444 engine.

when did 6500 become almost 7k?

It’s over priced. I imagine they’re leaving negotiation room. I bet 5 would take it.

I think it probably sells at 5k. It’s a LOT of truck with no rust in Michigan.

I agree 6500 is a bit high

08/26/2015 at 16:08

Oh yeah I made that side note right away up top lol

It’s in shockingly good shape though for a “manly mall runner” truck like this, that’s a lot of seats that the kids didn’t screw up. Maybe they didn’t want to touch them?

I doubt the bondo, this site just sells the rusty ones as is, they frankly don’t give a shit lol there mis-matched doors on cars at this lot, they don’t normally hide much haha. Look through their listings for a laugh.

$6500 would be perfect if it had half the miles.

Speaking of which, my 1995 F-150 (Southern truck, no rust, 98K miles) is listing at $6000. (PP Value is $5600)

Then they probably just nabbed it from a Police auction or something.

4x4? Cab size?

08/26/2015 at 16:11

Wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

I’ve even seen them selling an Explorer that didn’t have a body, just a roll cage that someone (poorly) turned into a sand dune truck. But it was still street legal, blinkers, lights, bumpers, belts etc.

The amount of fucks these guys give is hysterically low.

And jeeeeeez, that is a lot of shitty cars. There’s a few pretty interesting ones though.

RWD SuperCab.

This is the South (Georgia), so even that is still valuing at close to $6000.

Driving by their lot I swear I must have almost crashed multiple times.

If you’re into crazy classic car sites enjoy this crazy bastard of a website:

But for that last site, I like it how the email is obviously for the owner.

I bought an 01 4x4 Limited for $3800 with 140k on it.

Needed ball joints, an intake manifold gasket, tires, and coil packs and this was from a dealership I trusted. The previous owner was apparently a complete moron who couldn’t figure out how to change his wiper blades or clean up coffee stains.

They ride like clouds and have tons of room. I think mine also has locking differentials. The interior is crap — the leather is really thin and the plastics are like a Tupperware bowl

I can recommed one, but that one looks a little shit for the price

It gets 14 mpg, which is about the same as my Olds

Yeah the Vette’s a decent deal I think I could find better around here though.

And yeah that owner email is fantastic. Marshall Motors is my favorite, “fuck I don’t want to work what can I look at that isn’t OPPO” website.

It’s at a dealer, so sales tax and fees will push it up over $7k.

08/26/2015 at 16:33

Meh, if it sold for 5, it won’t be THAT high.

but If you couldn’t get out the door around 5, it’s not worth it.

I would love to have a diesel Excursion. It’s the last tow vehicle I’d ever need to buy.

Love the Excursion, but V10 is kind of a risk. Dont forget the notorious spark-plug blow-outs these Triton engines are known for.

I used to own a 2001 Excursion V10, and one of the spark plugs blew-out (~180-190k miles). This was my daily commuter and I was usually was pretty easy on her. Bit of research revealed this to be a more frequent issue. The problem is, depending on severity, it could be a ~$500 fix (timesert/helicoil), or a ~$3000 fix (head replacement), both were quoted to me including parts and labor.

You did hahaha.

08/26/2015 at 19:27

Oh yeah I hear you on that. Put it’s possible to walk out of the dealer in the 5k range on an apparently rust free v10 4x4.

That’s a lot of truck for not much money.

08/27/2015 at 09:08

yes but this could tow what ever you’re currently towing with the tahoe....PLUS THE TAHOE!

My 2001 Land Rover Discovery has a hard time doing that at 65 MPH!

Man that would have been a lot of fun! Im actually working in North Dakota right now so im missing all the awesome car stuff back home but im from Bay City. Is Ligenfelter’s C&C held at their Brighton location? I remember stopping there after Bronco-rama at Jeff’s Bronco Graveyard (which is a pretty cool event in itself)

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Bowtie_Guy
09/08/2015 at 09:06

It was at their Wixom location, which I suppose could be mistaken for Brighton, it’s not too far.

Turned out the Montego didn’t cooperate and had to be taken home, I went anyhow but only in my boring DD - Mercury Milan V6

Bowtie_Guy > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner
09/08/2015 at 20:42

No Brighton is where the “Ligenfelter Collection” is stored, I had just assumed that was where cars & coffee would be held. I hope whatever was ailing the Montego was minor! That is one awesome car!

Unfortunately I think it’s the opposite and that it’s quite major.

I’ve been having overheating issues. Replaced radiator with a new 4 core one, replaced water pump with a high flow pump, lower temp thermostat, all new hoses.

I think it’s leaking from the rear of the engine, which means...head gaskets. And it means I may as well either get new heads, or get them gone through. $$$$
