I'm surprised no one shows more interest in this rig! Every time I drive down south in my Diesel Patrol people tell me how lucky I am and how much they'd love to have a diesel in their SUV. I think your truck is well priced given all the extras.

Nice truck and best of luck with the sale!

Cheers,
Mr. D

Maybe there is interest. I love it but sadly in Salt Lake City I would never be able to register it due to emissions laws

It just amazes me, if this were a cruiser or yota and first turbo diesel I don't think it would have a problem selling. Especially for the price. I thought making a full build thread, part number catalog, daily driving it and so forth would show its worth.

I was asked if the title was stated as an diesel. I guess I may have to get that changed to ensure a sale at the real value of the truck so people interested with hard emission county's could purchase it with zero inspection hassles.

Thank you guys for your input!

I'm surprised about the eBay bidding as well. But, as you said, if it were a Cruiser it would be long gone! I'd totally give you the eBay price! :smiley_drive:

The ebay auction was a complete failure. Big thanks to Roger, I was able to put a fender he supplied on that has zero holes in it (driver's side) today. I will be taking off the front and rear bumpers to lower the price down as well.

Hey man, good luck with the sale.

Having sold a custom engine coversion Westfalia last year, I can understand the sale taking so long. You read on the forums all day long about how people want to do the conversion, or want a diesel in your case, but when it comes time to sell, interested buyers are nowhere to be found.

Stick to your guns on the price if it is a fair price, and remember that it only takes one buyer!

Good luck again.
