Default doing a trade, I want you guys' input on it

What do you guys think about this.

I'm getting rid of my 86 ZX1000's that I have, and I've been offered a 96 S10 pickup, 2.2L I4 motor and 5 spd, in good shape, just needs a motor put in it(was a V8 swap donor initially) for both of my ZX1000's.

would you guys say its a fair deal? I mean I figure the truck, both 4 cyl engines included are worth about 1500-ish, which is about what my runner is worth, $2k with all the accessories I have including the parts bike and extra motor, plus exhausts.

this would be an even trade title for title, and I have 3 bikes total, only really like ONE of them, and could use a truck for myself and my mom to use for our needs, so what do you guys think?

I think I know what I'm going to do, I just want some extra assurance that I'm going with the right choice.

Sounds like you are just tired of the bikes and want them gone, I get like that at times and just want stuff gone. If you can use the truck go for it.

"You can't always get want you want. But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need".

Sounds like you're getting what you want, and getting rid of what you don't need.

Problem solved.

I'd highly recommend selling the four's and putting in a V6. My friend had a 2000ish four cylinder and it was just slow. Even just daily driving was slow. When on the highway, he'd have to floor it just to pass someone and you really had to get on her if the wind was blowing.


I wouldnt call it an even trade.
