    My latest buy

    My latest buy.

    1968 Ford F100 Pickup



    Bought this last Friday, had issues getting it home. Ended up trailering it the next day.

    Guy was asking $4,500, but his ad isn't how I came across it.

    About 2 weeks ago I posted an ad to the effect of "I have 500/1000 to spend on a vehicle. I don't expect much for that, but maybe I'll be surprised."

    This guy emails me (with pics), says he has a '68 F100. Looking to get $1,200, but would go $1,000.

    So I jumped on CL and punched in 1968 F100 and found his ad. Either it's not really worth anywhere close to $4,500, or he actually was desperate, though he didn't seem to be.

    Anyways, I ended up getting it for $900.

    So there's another avenue for people. Toss up an ad saying you have X amount and for people to email you.
