In investing we call such things value traps. Be careful. George

Ain't that the truth?

I used to work with a guy who would consistently buy crappy cars, put a few hundred bucks into them, then sell them for less than he paid. He made a small fortune (out of a large one, unfortunately). It didn't help that he was a really bad mechanic.

I have no idea. It just has for sale listed on the windshield. I don’t know the mileage or if it even runs. Also the locks on the right side of the vehicle don’t work. The reason I made this was to see if it was even worth my time to call up and schedule a meeting

IMO (take it FWIW), it looks a little rough, and I think you would have a hard time making any money on it without putting a little bit into it. Maybe if it's mechanically sound and you can get it super cheap (like $1000). Otherwise, I don't think it would be worth your time.

I'll chime in and agree with everyone here that unless you can get this truck for a poorly whistled song it's not worth your time. The body and frame aren't horrible, but not great. '95 is a nightmare year to find parts and to troubleshoot. I really doubt you could easily make any money trying to flip this one.
