Usually these deals pop up and they're in another state or something. Yesterday I got an e-mail craigslist alert and it turned out the truck was only 18 miles away.

D250, Cummins, 5-speed, power windows and locks, cruise, cold A/C and EVERYTHING works! Brand new tires. I went there and drove it, drives great! It's got some bumps and bruises, but I found zero rust on it.

$4,000 is a really good price, so I was kind of joking with the guy when I stepped out of the truck from the test drive, and I said "If you'll take $3,000 for it, we'll just drive 3 blocks down to the bank and get the cash."

To my surprise he said: "Okay"! hammer

It's a fixer-upper, but I FINALLY got a Cummins 5-speed! grin
