You also have to consider that INFLATION has made that 1,500 US dollars worth a whole lot less since 1977. Today's dollars would be $6,587 as the new price, NOT 1,500 and calling "about that much."

grasshopper Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I see you [re]moved some items from the room... a sub and a pair of bookshelf speakers. Put them in your "doghouse"? Your wiring genie came, yes? No complaints from the neighbors? No... crank it up. My neighbors don't whine. Even when my wife had me turn it up to uncomfortable levels, even for me.

Brand new Nissan King Cab (2019 model), 4 cyl, manual tranny, < $20K: https://www.nissanusa.com/vehicles/trucks/19-frontier/compare-specs.html/versionkey/31159.html Even a new Ford standard cab pickup truck (base work truck) starts @ $28,500 msrp. Couple years from now there will be NO new pickup in the USA for < $20k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 We got one here on the farm we'd sell you for slightly under $20K..... actually two of them! Might even sell BOTH for slighly less than $20K.... Just please agree to ignore the grass growing on the hood of the first and that the second truck will abruptly stall & die on you.....not when you are home but usually at the red-light in the middle of downtown during 5:00 traffic. It's almost got a mind of it's own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
