So, I've been offered a truck, a third one. It's a 2001 XLT, dark green, tan interior, had leather seats which are absolutely gone, a V6 2WD, has lean codes, runs rough at idle, easy fix, engine seems quiet, transmission was in the shop last year and the shop in question is a known good one here, very honest guy, and I've driven it, seems good enough. The bad is, it has atrocious paint, it was parked in the sun, underneath a pecan tree, and probably hasn't seen soap in years, the clear coat is awful, and the interior needs TLC. I'm giving it serious thought and thought I'd ask, what would you do? I'd be fixing it up semi decent, cloth seats and a good cleaning up, and then reselling it to make a couple hundred bucks on it.
