ok, well, i posted my mazda on craigslist 2 days ago (which would have been friday night). since then, i have gotten offered my full asking price of $1,000 and i got 2 decent trade offers (one was a '97 Dodge Neon, POS) but the other two were a 1995 Chevy Tahoe 4x4, 2 door, and the other was a GMC Jimmy, 4x4, lowered a little bit with flat black Vette wheels. i dont know what to do, Joe, is there any issues you have had mechnically with everyday driving of ur jimmy? im leaning towards it because its worth more than my truck. both these people say they have had no problems with them and im not sure what to do. a little advice would be great.

yeah i would stick with the cash.. you need a 4wd truck and a lowered 4x4 is nothing but problems.. the way most people do it is a total hack way and it causes nothing but issues. bump steer is horrible and the ride sucks. kinda like a honda with cut springs.. lol.. glad to see the danger ranger is off the back burner cause i know you love that truck

Agreed, take the cash, if someone is willing to trade a 4x4 for a 4x2.. there is something wrong with the 4x4. But money talks.

yeah, im buying the ranger off of my dad, for whatever money is left of the grand of the parts needed to fix the good ole ranger. i really do love it and its time to get rid of the money pit mazda before it causes me any more problems than i already have with it. the idler arm is shot to hell, so i gotta fix that before i sell it. the guy who is buying it had an '86 B2000 and somebody pulled out in front of him and totalled the truck, and he wants another one and saw mine, he said the miles on it and the condition, it isnt worth a grand but he will offer me 1,000 and i cant resist that, especially since i only bought the truck for 300 bucks.

Well, if you only bought it for $300, and the guy is gonna give you $1000, then I only have this to say to you:
