I don't know if there's another thread, but here's a $1500 6.5 - https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1679009779108128/

That looks nice. Dont know its problems but most likely worth the money just in used components.

I tapped the FB linky, told me i had to log in to view the add. I dumped my FB account long time now, in my best chinese accent. LOL

The seller is asking $13K for it, @MrMarty51, must think it's a Duramax! It does look clean, but still.

It seems not only me had problems with facebook ads. Craigslist seems more decent though, as said above I’ve seen only reasonable ads. A lot of people on craigslist ads are ready to bargain, and even considering that they do have reasonable prices in the first place.
It’s not a rare occasion for people to make the stupidest ads possible and because of its reach it’ll still work. I have an acquaintance, who has a business for repairing SUVs. His ad is horrible, but because he has put in a lot of money it still gets him new customers. He also buys famoid facebook likes for his fb and ig page to look pretty decent.

No account required to view (I don't have facebook either).

...28 weeks at $13k and still not sold. Strange.

If the motor is professionally rebuilt and he knows what he has, I think he should include photos that lend some proof and some things that were done. For instance, if it was me, I would be posting photos of the things I purchased attached to the engine from TSP, Leroy, Quadstar and any others to add some credibility.

It's amazing what information people leave out of an ad.
I've seen ads like car for sale, $3400

No information at all

I've looked at countless ads where there is trash on the floor, coveralls across the seat, tools in the bed or trunk, unwashed, etc. Not interested. Personally, I don't even want to see a cup in a cupholder. Paying attention to the background and lighting is just as important to me, also.

It seems like the guy that posts too much information about a vehicle is the guy that is less likely to hide stuff.

None of that bothers me. I'm more concerned about function

I see adds like that with the trash, tools, parts and such and think, this thing must be a real POS.
If it is so nice the owner would take enough pride to clean it out some and at least put their tools away before taking pics of the beast.

You can cover some pretty large rust holes through the floor board with a half-dozen Macky D's drive-thru bags scattered in the passenger footwell!
