Talk me out of it, guys!

Offer him $800...That IS about what it's worth.
From there you could move to a thousand, but I wouldn't go any further.

I wasnt looking for a truck when i found mine, he was asking 2k and was hard up for money, my first offer of $700 his eyes lit up and he took it, and ive been driving it for two years without a single break down.
