Sorry, I did not knock on my current vehicle. My tacoma is a GREAT truck, I just have no use for it and miss having a back seat/trunk. And the 6 speed sure will be fun.
I can not figure out how to delete the poll but, since I have 2 weeks to sell my vehicle, I am not taking any large loss on the sell, just wanting to push it faster to sell now.
The day I get the drive the formy home will be a great day!!!

Everyone's talkin sh*t about japanese trucks but some are worth a nod. I wouldn't really consider a Tundra a "rice" burner... those things are the real deal. My girlfriend also drives a supercharged Nissan Xterra.. that thing is a lot of fun. On the other hand a couple friends have tahoes and explorers and I don't really like em... I love my z28, but it's always breaking..

Let me spell it out for you. He's worried about being able to sell his truck. Had he not bought a foreign truck, he wouldn't be worried about selling it. If you're like me and have family that depend on the American auto industry to put food on the table, you'd be bitter about people buying Toyotas, Hondas & all that other crap too.

Still no solid bites on the sell of my truck. I thought I had it priced very low, guess not low enough.
I have until the 30th to sell it if I want this formula. Everyone please pray for me.

Good luck man, selling a car is such a headache. Far more so than buying one. It took me 4 months to sell my car, and I had to do it for less than I wanted to get for it.
I have no idea about what your financial situation is like, but I waited until my car was sold. There's no guarantee when your car will sell, and it may take longer than you think. After I sold my car, it only took me a week to find the right Camaro.

E V I L- if it is just a question of selling the truck, take it to your local toyota dealership and ask them to buy it from ya. my bro is the used car manager for a dealership here, and people do that all the time. they will probably just give you trade in on it, but you will have it gone...
As far as the debate over "foreign trucks" goes, i say the hell with them... one of my closest friends had a '92 chevy silverado v8 (not diesel) that had 408,000 miles on THE ORIGINAL MOTOR before he had it rebuilt. i have never in my life seen another vehicle with more miles on the original motor. i have heard of a few, but never actually seen one.

Your high and an idiot. Selling ANY vehicle can be hard. At least almost all Japaneese vehicles hold their value better than american vehicles. I paid 32k for a 2006 Honda Ridgeline in May 2005 which still has a retail value of almost 29k. A good frint bought a 2006 Chevy Z71 with a window sticker of 33k for 28.5k a few months later. He just traded his truck in great condition for 19k. AMERICAN VEHICLES AREN'T WORTH CRAP WHEN YOU TRADE THEM.
Sounds like you got a good deal. The partial refund is exactly what I would have done. Two questions:
1: what do you owe on your truck?
2: what is the PRIVATE SALE value on your truck through Kelly Blue Book (www.kbb.com)?

Private sale value (good condition) is $8175. I have it posted for 7k on ebay buy it now. Hope I get some bites by tomorrow.
The day I get to drive home in my 1st ls1 with 6 speed and leather and t-tops will be a great day.

Yes I am. Having leather and a 6 speed with T-tops is
.
Although it is only a stock LS1 (for now), I have previously owned a mustang coupe that made somewhere around 350/478 on nitrous and it was a beast and a AWD talon making around 300 hp but the LS1 is different, the torque is SOOO nice! It pulls so damn well and can easily throw me back in the seat. I love it!![EEK !!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_eek2.gif)
BTW are the 98's the lowest dynoing LS1's?

98-02's all pretty much the same, just slight differences.
98,01,02 i believe had bigger injectors.
99,00 had bigger cams.
01,02 came with LS6 intake.
98-00 had EGR and AIR
01,02 only had AIR
I think thats right but dont hold me to it![The Jester](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_jest.gif)
The 01 and 02's should actually be quicker bc of the LS6 intake which is about a 20hp gain if you add it to the 98-00's.

Just wait until you have the buying power and you sell your truck, i thought i had found the perfect car when i was in the market for an f-body but i was short a few bucks.
Then I found my 2002 camaro, that had been owned by a girl at a dealer for cheap with low miles and extended warranty.![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
buying an f-body is like looking for the right girl to marry......it takes time but shes there somewhere
