ariascarlos1990 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 There is this nice '78 KC on Craigslist right now and I have some question? :D http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/1127944656.html 1978 datsun truck for trade runs n drives great nothing wring with it has stereo in it with tweeters, 6x9s, deck 4spd wanting to trade for an old vw bug, no super beetles. in good condition thanks 503-393-7424 ask for sunny or cody I have a VW bug and I'm wondering If I should trade this guy for the truck. I got the bug for free from my uncle for doing so good in school. but, I don't really like the thing. I just need some feedback if I should or what not. Thanks Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I think you should, but I'm guessing he wants a bug in as clean of condition as his truck. Your bug is straight, but not custom with fresh paint. Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I just waxed it and put new wood on the rack. have any of you seen this truck before? I emailed him for pictures of the interior and the engine. we'll see. Quote Link to comment
Weaver Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 The KC looks clean. If you don't want the bug, then go for it! Just make sure you give the truck a good inspection so you don't get screwed. Don't want the thing to fall apart when you drive it home, eh? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I would. It's a '79 so already has the EI matchbox dizzy, internally regulated alternator, ball joint suspension and disc brakes. Only down side is it only has the 4spd, sits too low and has that horrible grill. :D Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah but, I don't want my uncle to get mad at me or something. He gave the bug to me as a project and he's seen what my truck looked and looks like and knows I have motivation with things. I mean its not like he got it from his uncle or anything. He got it from his neighbor that could take it to where they where moving. Idk.... Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 trade your bug off, then sell your black truck, buy another bug and fix it up. Your uncle will never know ;) Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 trade your bug off, then sell your black truck, buy another bug and fix it up. Your uncle will never know ;) SERIOUSLY!! damn doit dude.. its already a stick too! hehe Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 honestly, you bug is still probably worth more, its a good strait car. they seem to hold their value a bit better, i doubt that truck, even as nice as it is would fetch the same amount as your bug. if you do trade, see if he'll be willing to fork over $500 too.

ariascarlos1990 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I was thinking the same thing tdaaj. The members at The Samba said I could sell that bug for $3,500 easy. and that could bag my truck and turbo the L motor. :D Or SR swap. :D I think I might pass on the truck. and just try to sell the thing. Thanks every body for helping me make my decision. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Still might consider talking to him and seeing how much cash he would pitch in to get your bug. You still might be able to make it work in your favor, For the right amount of cash. Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 true. I'm still waiting for im to reply to my email I sent him. Quote Link to comment

LeDevil Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I think I knwo the person who owns that truck, the surrounding background name and fascination with Vw's sounds like the Cody I'm thinking of. I'll give him a call tomorrow and find out for you Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 That truck has been on cl for months. I was for sale around the salem area for a long time for $2500. I wonder if someone up north bought it and is flipping it? Quote Link to comment
