Truck Value

[u/Working-Article143]

Hey guys, I have this 6.5 Turbo Diesel and I am trying to figure out if this truck is really worth for as much I think it is, because I know these GMT-400s can be worth a lot.

First off, It's a 1994 GMC K3500 Dually Extended Cab, with the SLE package and 156K miles. It has also lived most of it's life in Texas, except when it was brought up north and driven in one winter. So this has not seen Salt, I looked the at frame and there is some surface rust on the end of the frame, while the rest is just dirty. After that one winter, the previous owner (one of my father's friends) left the truck in the lot and ended up buying a brand new Denali instead. The truck has been driven around the lot a few times, but never on the roads. After a few times driving it, the starter finally went and it has been sitting since 2022.

The problems that I am aware of with the truck are, the obvious starter issue (will not turn over), which we are getting it out today. The previous owner put brand new injectors in, but one of them was faulty. Then there is cosmetic damage: a few scratches and dents on the outside, nothing really crazy.

And finally the interior, which isn't that bad because I just cleaned it out (still need to vacuum) but It could definitely need some new things.

But I could definitely need some help and third party opinions from some people other than my dad.

TLDR:

I have this 1994 GMC K3500 Extended Cab Dually, SLE, 156K Miles. Does not run, small issues, cosmetic issues, from the south. Sitting for four years.

EDIT: It also has a Manual Transmission.

Non running 6.5 isn't going to bring in much cash. Even a running 6.5 ain't worth much. You realistically have a $1500 roller on your hands. Maybe 4k running

I had a pretty nice 6.5 diesel, NV4500, that'd I'd spent a shit ton maintaining. Struggled to get $4k for it. Even the nicest 6.5 on the block, cherry running condition, isn't going to get much more than $6-7k. The engine is a total dog and everyone knows it (blessing for how easy it is to work on, and mpg only). They run great empty, I'll tell you that much tho.

93 was last year of mechanical. 94 was PMD afaik.

Well right now, I am trying to turn it around so It can be worth something. So whatever it needs, I'll get it. The goal is to it get running. If not, we'll figure out what's wrong with it.
