Funny you mention that. It's a little Mom and Pop joint that a 24-25 year old guy just opened. And in Kansas, you don't need an inspection. Either way, all of the replies have been helpful and I appreciate all of the input.skinny2 wrote:What kind of dealer is this? A reputable dealer will not sell a vehicle that will not pass a safety inspection (windshield!!). This almost sounds like one of those "finance anyone" lots where the cash price can make no sense to your and me, but someone with no credit will sign on the line. I think $7k is all the money given the condition and frankly I would pass. There has to be better examples of these out there for less money.
You may not have an inspection to register the vehicle (we don't here in OH either) but there are still safety requirements for any vehicle. Selling a vehicle that meets those minimal safety standards is usually rolled into the license requirement for a dealership. If you were stopped by the police they can issues citations/warnings for safety violations and a cracked windshield is one of them.PhogSVT wrote: Funny you mention that.

No way they paid that at auction. Walk away from that car. You don't know what you're getting and they'll never come down to what the car is actually worth.PhogSVT wrote:Thanks for the replies. They seem to confirm what I was thinking in that this vehicle seems to be priced priced too high. I should have clarified in my first post that this is a dealer I'm talking to about the truck. I checked it out yesterday and when looking at the vehicle, I asked what they had done to it as far as re-conditioning, etc. was concerned. Dealer said that nothing had been done to the vehicle. Said that it was exactly as it was when they purchased it at auction. That said, $9300 still seems like too much. Does $7000-$7500 seem like a lowball offer?
Good point. Hadn't thought about that.
