I currently own a '78 Chevy Big 10, bought new, with 320,000 miles on it. It has a 350-4 barrel. I'm told that #8 cylinder has no compression. The truck is rusted out and I really need to replace it.
I'm looking at an '84 Silverado 2WD with auto, ps/pb, cruise, tilt, electric windows and locks, 305 V8. The body is in good shape. The young man that owns it has taken excellent care of it. He said he is the second owner. He said it has 87,000 miles on it. The air conditioning doesn't work and he said it may cost up to $1,000 to fix it. My air in the '78 doesn't work and it isn't worth fixing it, and I'm really tired of cooking in the summer. So, air is important. The owner said he advertised it at $6,000 because he really didn't want to sell it. He is looking for $4,000 or any reasonable offer. I don't know much about the 305 engine. Were they OK?
What would be a reasonable offer on this pickup? Appreciate your ideas on it.
