I have a chance to make a score on a vehicle I don't need..or would ever buy....I have a very good friend (almost like a brother)..that came home a couple of weeks ago..found his wife with her legs up in the air..and the mail man deliverin more than the mail...(it might not have been the mail man but you get the picture)..I'ts gonna be a messy split assets wise...(she's no good)...anyway he has an all black TRX with 3200 miles on it...He bought it from Koons @ a discount..and he has clear tittle...In an attempt to give her as little as possible he wants to sell me the TRX @ 55g's..then give him 15 grand cash under the table..so I'd be in it 70 grand..the truck is in the wrapper gorgeous..I already have a Ram 1500 and need this like a hole in my head..till I drove it..it's a cool truck...I know if I bought it...I would keep it...the question is how good a deal is 70 grand for one of these trucks...:unsure::unsure:

Do you have the money? Then yes
I would say it's a decent deal

I'd say that's one hell of a deal. A quick nationwide search on Cargurus shows TRXs with less than 10k miles listed for low 80s and up.

Asking for a friend (🤔)... your friend isn't local to North Texas is he?

Seems like a good deal to me + you get to help him keep the bitch from getting 1/2. I have no real use for a TRX and not much of a fan of black cars, but I think I'd jump on it if presented with a similar opportunity. Knowing the guy & how well he takes care of his vehicles would be a strong motivator.

Since money isn’t an issue I’d jump on it. I don’t think you can beat the price. Now if there were other issues such as 1) wife is going to have a fit 2) no place to keep it 3) don’t like it 4) buddy’s wife is going to be making your life miserable, then maybe not.

Buy it. And you already know that your regular boring 1500 will remain parked afterwards.

That's my thought....my truck is a work truck...I never was a truck guy..but now I could never go back to a car for a DD..it's loaded..but still a work truck...it can stay @ work and the TRX will be the DD..and a ton more fun...

When you get it, I'd suggest putting a rear anti sway bar on it. Makes a big difference in handling.

The end links that come with the Hellwig are crap, but I can PM you the affordable and simple solution.
