Too low of a price for a Dmax?

Glow plugs are easy to diagnose. If they are black like this, then they must be bad

But yes, values of the classics has been hit hard lately. Most banks won't loan on anything older than 10 years or with more than 100k miles. That leaves most of these trucks selling as cash deals and your average buyer doesn't have $30k cash sitting around. Even the gold plated LBZs can be had for around $10k these days if you don't mind some miles. Luckily they really were well built trucks and they are mostly still running well at 200-300k miles.

Not around here. Prices are still high as ever. Hopefully that changes soon though

Meant to update everyone to say I purchased the truck for $15.6k. Overall great condition with no scratches or dents and I’m very happy with it! Only annoyance with the truck is a slight rpm fluctuation (jumps about 50rpm) every few seconds when it’s cold or after driving for a while and then letting it idle. The problem doesn’t happen all the time, doesn’t blow any smoke, no codes, injector balance rates all check out and the problem usually subsides when truck it put into drive. It starts up smooth first crank every time, doesn’t skip a beat when you get into the power band and seems to shift smooth through all 6 gears with plenty of power. Anybody else experience this ever so slight rpm fluctuation on an LBZ? I initially thought it to be the cp3 or the regulator, but like I said the problem doesn’t happen all the time and I’m under the impression if it was one of those parts it would be acting funny constantly, however that’s not the case here... (I’m thinking adding an air dog may fix it).. again thanks for all the initial replies and info, it was much appreciated!

It still could be the regulator. Throw some 2 stroke oil in the tank and see if it helps any
