yea your rollpan wouldnt be considered a add on to most people because they done love primer like we do plus people arent going to pay the highest bb value, there only going to pay what the trade in cost is because thats the lowest cost its worth. your 6k is average but people are going to want to pay less because of the need for paint unless you sell it to someone who is in the scene.

I hate it when people think they know more about your own vehicle but own themselves in stupidity, good job on that.Vehicle Details Change Equipment Engine: 4-Cyl. 2.4 Liter Transmission: Automatic Drivetrain: 2WD Mileage: 93,000 Selected Standard Equipment AM/FM Stereo Dual Front Air Bags Selected Optional Equipment Air ConditioningPower SteeringTilt Wheel Single Compact DiscPremium Sound Sliding Rear WindowAlloy Wheels Blue Book Private Party ValuePrivate Party Value is what a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than the continuing factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes. Vehicle Condition Ratings Check Vehicle Title History Excellent $7,005 "Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. This vehicle has never had any paint or body work and is free of rust. The vehicle has a clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection. The engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects. The vehicle also has complete and verifiable service records. Less than 5% of all used vehicles fall into this category. Good $6,435 "Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. There should be little or no rust on this vehicle. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category. Fair (Selected) $5,700 "Fair" condition means that the vehicle has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional. The tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage. Poor N/A "Poor" condition means that the vehicle has severe mechanical and/or cosmetic defects and is in poor running condition. The vehicle may have problems that cannot be readily fixed such as a damaged frame or a rusted-through body. A vehicle with a branded title (salvage, flood, etc.) or unsubstantiated mileage is considered "poor." A vehicle in poor condition may require an independent appraisal to determine its value.

In any case I didn't say I was trying to get $6000 for it but I put best offer and still got nothing. And yes they go for way over blue book here in Md, toyotas and most imports always have.

Its the old "I wanted it so someone else wants it too" syndrome.

The old men that will give you book value for your tacoma want a rear bumper and dont want primer. Primer is always from an accident, not from "modifications" like we use it.

There are likely 10 people in the US who want your S10. Of those 10, only one can possibly afford it. You just have to find that one.

If you are in a hurry, take a loss and write it off as utility gained during ownership. If you are not in a hurry, bide your time. But be careful of incedental expenses like insurance and taxes increasing your stake in the trucks. For example, if someone offers you 5k, and you say no, and you wait another year to sell it at 6k, you may pay 1k in taxes and insurance costs over that year.

My thought. Its gonna be hard to get a used car loan on a 1999. and no ones gonna get one on a 1994. and no matter what, take everything away and its still a 12 yr old 4cyl, regular cab S10. which if you look around they hold no value. I know... I have one. Besides the car market is always dead in the winter. Thats just my thoughts. id put them on ebay. I had good luck sellin a couple trucks on there
