What is my M1008 Worth?

[lincolntwilliams]

Subject says it all. 1986 M1008, added electric fuel pump, spin on filter, doghead mod, added 2" receiver, lifted 5" using ORD shackle flip and tuff country ez ride springs, obviously H1's with 37" GY's…. has a new th400 in it. 52k Miles. Interior is decent, the seat has been recovered, the dash is cracked, and the door panels are faded.

I DO NOT want to sell. I'm in the military and am moving from Washington to Florida, we will be living on base there and will not have anywhere to store it… so my hand is kind of being forced.

Let me know what you think. I'm not interested in selling on here, just looking to see what the experts think. I'm in Western Washington if that narrows down the market for ya.

No brush guard or shackles.
Big lift and cracked dash.
Tons of other things that will affect value.

The lift and tires are going to narrow any buyers.
Good looking truck, but totally not my style. I like them all original and will/have pay good money for them that way.
Your truck I wouldn't look twice at to buy. No offense.


Fleabay will give you an idea of what some are bringing that have been altered.

Of course the old saying "It's worth what someone is willing to pay" always applies.

Worth?
I would need to see more pics to even guess

Am I buying or selling?

If I'm buying, I'm thinking $3k maybe. If I'm selling I'm going to try for $6k, without really expecting to see more than about $4200.

Just my off the cuff numbers...

Edit - storage can usually be found for $50/month. I've lived in apartments and stored a 939series 5ton at the storage place down the street. ..

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Ask 5k for it, get about 4 for it.

Storage for my rig at 50 per month x 4 years = too much! You made me think about it though...

Thanks for the replies.

Mebee one of the SS members in Fla could help you store it at their place.....Headed to Eglin or McDill?

I don't have a pig in this race, but personally if I modified a truck the way I liked it then I would do just about anything to keep it. Getting it to where your being stationed would be the biggest problem but once there reasonable or free storage could be worked out. Just my , but they'll have to bury me with my MVs.

I would have a hard time paying 5k for it. I haven't paid above $4k yet for any of the 4 I have bought that were not molested

if the body is clean and no rust, it is a 5k truck. The interior parts that are bad, are bad in most trucks out there and can be fixed easily.

Paying 4 years of storage would not be good either.

If you don't have family you can leave it with for free, (let them use it a little, it will help it keep over time).
Then sell it and I would list it for $6k and take the best offer.

consider the condition of the truck and if you would still want it in 4 to 5 years and also consider finding another one in good condition in 4 to 5 years. finding these trucks in good condition now is hard to do. Another 5 years and the prices are going to be higher and the selection a lot worse.

My . I would do what I could to keep it. 5 years from now it could be worth double or cost you double to replace it. You can put that money in the bank but today's interest will by you a cheap steak dinner in 4 years. And the money in the bank will probably disappear in 4 years, The truck parked with a cover will be just like you left it.

I don't know about other branches but every Army Post that I know of has a lot to store boats, RVs, extra cars, etc.
No cost that I know of as long as you have PCS orders for that Post.

Usually (not always) close to airfield.
