I purchased this truck in Florida 6 months ago and shipped it on island. This is a small, white, manual 5-speed pickup that Nissan called a Hardbody Pickup. It is in excellent condition, very reliable and with a small 2.4 ltr engine, it gets great gas mileage. It has 175K miles, but virtually every engine part has been replaced. Clean with cold a/c, bed-liner. New battery and starter in last three months. BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires in excellent condition with lots of tread. I'm selling at a huge loss considering my shipping costs and road tax, but moving off-island and must sell. STX $3200.

Perfect example of why all the board folks recommend NOT shipping your vehicle down here...Lots and lots for sale for the same reason...and, odds are, you will have to settle for less than you are asking...a sad fact. Best of luck.

Actually, I have lived down here for 12 years and have always bought my vehicles stateside. The reason I shipped the truck down is because I know what junk is available on island. The truck was a buddy's automotive shop truck and it was driven solely by the shop mechanics and cared for by the shop. Even with 175K miles on it, it is in better condition than a truck that has 40K miles and spent its whole life on island. Its kind of like dog years versus people years: one year on island is like seven years stateside for vehicles. In any event, your are likely correct that I will end up getting less than the asking price, but for the time I used it here, I drove carefree. thanks for the well wishes.
