96 D1 - What is market value?

[Keanan]

I have a 96 D1, I'm thinking of selling it and wanted to know what a reasonable asking price might be.

Vehicle is located in Southern California,
It's a 96 D1, 110,657 miles
7-seater, no sunroofs, no rear air
clean interior, new headliner, no major stairs or tears in upholstery, needs a good vacuum and detail, straight body
mild ome lift 1.5-2" maybe, 265/75R16 Pro-Comp AT tires with 50% tread
rock sliders, not sure what brand
Runs and drives quite well

only known issue is low oil pressure, once it warms up the oil light comes on at idle. No abnormal engine noises. I assume it could use new bearings and oil pump.

See pictures below

What would be a fair market value as is?
What would be a fair market value if oil pressure issues were resolved?

Thank you,

Was it crashed in the front?

Damn it. You just fucked the whole thread.

You were supposed to type that three times.

No, It had a brushguard on it and the bumper wasn't put on level after the guard was removed.

I like how the pics stop just short of the problem areas. Right up to the door opening seal but just missed the striker and the whole area under it. The rear door opening but not the rotted out strip that sits right in the sill. It's nice work.

Its probably worth 2 grand on a good day. Nobody want's them but us. I am looking for one so if you pm the vin to me or post it I might be interested . If those problem areas are clean I might come out and look at it. But you just missed them in your pics. Hope its cause your from California and you don't know they have problem areas.

I'd been looking for another trail truck for about a year or so. The more I looked the more the term "rust free" became the most important part of the description.

Very clean truck - engines are a dime a dozen, I'd pull a pan, clean the pickup, and replace the rod bearings just for the heck of it.
Stu, you want it!

 

[stu454]

Yep, I do. I'd like to see more detailed pictures of the usual rust problem areas.

How much of a pain are the rod bearings to replace?

 

[Keanan]

Rod bearings are fairly easy, pull the pan then it's 16 bolts to do the bearings.

I'll get some pictures of door sills and undercarriage.

I like this truck. Makes me miss my old '96 white D1 with beige interior.

Straighten out the front, blast off that God-awful black paint on the wheels, and resolve the oil pressure problem and it will sell within a week at $2,000 or maybe more.

I can't see the pics on my laptop or phone.

What's the wiring near the pedals? What was fixed with that?

I had that issue on my phone. He's got them stored on google docs. So you probably need to use Chrome and be logged into google to see them.

You not going to fix an engine with just bearings. The rule of thumb is that if you can feel the wear marks in the crank you need the crank. You should figure you need at minimum a crankshaft and all the bearings, oil pump / front cover, and cam bearings to be smart. Then a good valve job and the whole gasket kit. If he gives us the vin I can run it for you guys that are close enough to go get it. A Wisconsin truck could be in southern cal right now.

true dat. These things rot from the inside out. Most of the time I find way more rust in the aprons than I ever think I'm gonna when the front fenders come off.

Less concerned about the tweaked plastic bumper and more concerned about the missing letters on the hood. Usually indicates a front-end respray.
