It has not been run through their shop, the dealer did tell me that it was
driven from where it was purchased and parked where it now sits, he didn't
tell me how long it's been there. It looks like it's been sitting a while.
It buried in the lot pretty deep, I didn't see it from the street and didn't
know it was there. I only came across it as I was wandering through the maze
of other trucks they have. I wouldn't say it's a daily driver, it will need
some elbow grease to get to that point.

You didn't describe a "a good used complete M1008" in your original post.
While $5000 would be about retail for a good daily driver it is high for
what you originally described. In my opinion, something that was bought
form DRMO a year or more ago and NOT fixed up is worth less than what it
sold for at auction. I also wouldn't give as much for something that has
gone through local government use since they tend to drive them till they
break and patch them up any way they can.
While what Ted said is true from his point of view, I could imagine a
situation were some local car dealer had bought what you describe at a local
sealed bid auction of some local government that was poorly advertised for a
couple of hundred dollars.
Did you post the pics somewhere or can you send them to me? I would like
to see them too.
Sounds like most of the real answers to you original post was off list so it
is hard to comment on them.
