Pro or Con ?

Whats a fair price?

Hmm, Bob, thats subjective. Considering the low cost of the M880 I would presume not much. Also probably wouldn't cost much to get it back right either. I think Colemans for example has front bumpers for like $20. SECO in GA has a row of them, $600 ea. I would say $500 is a right price. Some folks wouldn't give you a plug nickle for one. I gauge what I pay on what I could sell it for in the end so I don't take too big of a bath on it. In a way I'm glad they have little worth in the world. I want another one and when the time comes, I won't be spending too much money.

If you could get it for $500 it would be great.... as long as it did not have any electrical problems. ( I hate trying to figure them out ) any road worthy 4wd truck is worth at least that much in my neighbor hood.

I just converted my M880 over to 16s... if anybody needs any 16.5 tires already mounted on rims just let me know.

Well his asking price is $2195, it is about 70 miles away from me.

Ken, Any more info on

Anyway I had called this guy Friday and asked his lowest possible price, told him there was no way it was worth over $1500, He said he'd part it out first. He called back last night saying he'd take $1500.

$1500 is quite high for an M880. My opinion is only exceptional ones bring that money. I sold my M887 for $1000 and it was rust free. I can't find that bumper, maybe they sold out. Saturn has em but no price. As far as SECO, last I spoke they had a row of them. Probably 8 or more, your pick at $600. they are in Agusta GA.

Bob,

I gladly bought my M880 for $2300. It was in good orginal shape,with the troop seats and cargo cover.

( you can see a pic of it in the photo section of this forum and I can send you more of what the truck looked like when I bought it )

I would be willing to bet that the price of the truck you described would drop to $1000 in a couple of weeks. remember there are only a select groop of people who are really interested in the M880s. To the rest of the world it is nothing more than an old pickup truck.
