Not to shoot anyone's idea's... but keep the perspective that WE (being 4x4wire members) know the trooper is valuable...

but to the general population, its just a jalopy waiting to be sold. I really could not see myself buying an 89rs for more than a grand, because I know what KBB and other valuation services mark it... if y'all are really interested, you should wait around for a steal, not just the next 89rs that surfaces to the top....

Edit: And trust me, this is coming from a guy who is just drooling for 4.77's and honeycombs <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

just my $.02

Good point, Santi...an RS is pretty useless to the average Joe. It does seem as though more people are starting to advertise them as "rare" and set their prices a bit higher.
I've mentioned before that I would turn down $5G for mine.
But if anyone wants to offer $5001...well... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Then I'd be all over this 'Nawlins RS.

Body Damage is Cool
Note that the new buy it now is $1425. Not $2425.
Oh and who cares what the everyday person thinks. If you had that thing, (assuming it ran well) and especially if it had a V8 or something swapped into it, you would be cool if to no one else but you. Thats why i would get it. Plus those 4.77s....

Umm... I do. if Joe Schmo doesn't what he has (worth is subjective, in this case in particular), he will sell for cheap. I'm glad you want to pay a premium for something... the last place I would buy something rare is on Ebay; every single frickin enthusiast across the globe will bid that thing up...

End of rant. Thank you <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />
