Big truck energy without the diesel drama.

• Newer body style — CHECK
• Under 200k — CHECK
• 6.2 gas engine — CHECK
• 3/4 ton — CHECK
• 4x4 — CHECK
• CB radio included — CHECK CHECK

Now for the fine print, because I’m not here to sugarcoat it.
• She’s got rust. Not frame-rotting, falling-apart rust. Just the kind that says, “I’ve worked for a living.”
• She’s a base work truck, but it still has power windows and locks.
• It may need a front diff someday, but it still drives fine day to day.

This is a TON of truck for the money.
Actually, make that three-quarter ton of truck for the money.

I’ve had it sitting too long. My loss, your gain.
If you need a truck that works hard, talks back through a CB radio, and doesn’t pretend to be something it isn’t, this is your kind of rig.

2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus - NEEDS BATTERY — Clean, Quick, and Flat-Out Fun - $10,995

I’m a truck and hot rod guy. I wanted to hate this car. I can’t. It’s clean, in good condition, and it drives excellent. Solid Black outside, black inside, 119,557 actual miles, and it’s got the kind of instant torque that makes you grin every time you step on it.

The engineering is what surprised me most. The big screen is sharp, the controls are modern, and the electric drive is smooth, quiet, and fast. It’s got a ton of fun features, and it feels more like a gadget with attitude than a plain commuter car.

It does need a battery, and that’s reflected in the price. I’m taking it to Ohio in a couple weeks to get that handled, and we’ll be putting in a battery that does not have the known flaw tied to these affected years. That’s why this is a great deal for the right somebody who wants a clean Tesla without paying retail.

Why it stands out

Clean car, good condition, drives excellent.

Solid Black with black interior.

Big center screen and a ton of modern features.

Quick, quiet, electric power that’s actually fun.

Battery issue priced in.

The Nook take
This one surprised me. I expected a science project. Instead I found a car that’s genuinely fun to drive. If you want a clean Model 3 and understand what the battery situation means, this is a smart one to look at.

2002 Mazda Miata MX-5 — Spring Is Made for This - $7,995

Spring is here, and this is exactly the kind of car that reminds you why convertibles exist. This 2002 Mazda Miata MX-5 is the fun one — light, simple, open-air driving, and the kind of car that turns an ordinary afternoon into something better.

It’s a clean little roadster for someone who wants to enjoy the drive, not just get from point A to point B. The Miata has always been about balance, feel, and having a good time behind the wheel, and that’s the whole appeal here.

Why It’s Fun
Convertible driving in spring just feels right.

Small, nimble, and easy to park.

Great for weekend drives, date nights, or just clearing your head.

Simple, honest car with a big smile factor.

The Nook Take
Not every car has to be a workhorse. Some cars are just meant to be enjoyed, and this Miata is one of them. If you’ve been waiting for something that makes driving feel fun again, this is a good place to start.

2002 Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCrew 4x2 — Clean Miles, Comfortable Cab, Honest Half-Ton - $6,150

This one is a clean, straightforward half-ton that makes sense for somebody who wants a comfortable truck without jumping into a heavy-duty payment or a diesel bill. It’s a 2002 Ford F-150 Lariat SuperCrew 4x2 with the 5.4L Triton V8, automatic transmission, Arizona Beige exterior, Medium Parchment interior, and 137,256 actual miles.

If you need a truck for everyday use, hauling light equipment, weekend projects, family duty, or just a solid daily driver, this F-150 fits the bill. The SuperCrew gives you real room in the cab, the Lariat trim makes it nicer than a basic work truck, and the rear-wheel-drive setup keeps it simple and easy to live with. It’s the kind of truck that still feels useful without trying too hard.

What Stands Out
• 5.4L Triton V8, automatic transmission.

• SuperCrew cab with four full doors and space for people or gear.

• 137,256 actual miles, clean condition.

• Arizona Beige Clearcoat Metallic exterior with Medium Parchment interior.

• 4x2 layout for simple, low-maintenance use.

Why It Works
This is a good fit for a buyer who wants a dependable truck with some comfort built in. It’s not trying to be a showpiece, and that’s the point. The F-150 platform has long been a go-to for folks who need a truck that can handle work during the week and family life on the weekend.

The Nook Take
We like trucks like this because they’re practical. You get the room, the V8, and the Lariat trim without the size, cost, or complexity of a heavy-duty truck. If you want something clean, comfortable, and useful, this is the right kind of F-150.

• Contractors, tradespeople, or farmers who need a dependable 4x4 work truck without a big price tag.

• Anyone who wants a capable Super Duty that won't require an engineering degree to work on.

• Buyers who understand that 181k on a well-kept V8 Super Duty is nowhere near the end of the road.

Highlights and Benefits

• 4-wheel drive SuperCab — traction when you need it, room for the crew.

• 181,490 actual miles, solid runing condition — high mileage on a tough truck that still has life left.

• Dark Shadow Grey with cloth/vinyl interior — practical, easy to clean, built for real use.

The Nook Take
This F-250 isn't pretending to be a luxury truck. It's a solid, straightforward Super Duty that does what you need it to do — pull a trailer, haul a load, handle bad weather, and start when you need it to. If you're looking for a capable work truck at a price that makes sense, this one is worth a look.

2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT 4x4 — 7.3 Power Stroke. That's All You Need to Know. - $5,995

Hey folks, if you know diesel trucks, you already stopped reading the headline and started figuring out how to come look at this one. The 7.3L Power Stroke is one of the most respected diesel engines ever built, and this 2001 F-250 Super Duty XLT Crew Cab 4x4 has one under the hood. Bright Amber Clearcoat Metallic over Medium Graphite interior, 234,173 actual miles, automatic transmission. It's a crew cab, and it has the engine that built the reputation. It's very clean on the inside, and as you see.... needs some rust repair on the outside.

For those who aren't familiar — the 7.3 Power Stroke has a cult following for good reason. It's bulletproof, it's been doing this for decades, and owners routinely run these well past 300k miles with basic maintenance. The aftermarket support is massive, parts are everywhere, and diesel mechanics know them cold. These miles on a 7.3 aren't a red flag — they're a resume.

Who It's For
• Diesel buyers who know exactly what a 7.3 is worth and have been waiting for a clean one.

• Farmers, contractors, or fleet operators who need a capable crew cab 4x4 that won't leave them stranded.

• Anyone tired of overpriced newer trucks and ready for a platform that's proven, repairable, and built to last.

Highlights and Benefits
• 7.3L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 — the engine with the legendary reputation, still earning it.

• Crew Cab 4x4, short bed — room for the team, traction when it counts.

• 234,173 actual miles, clean condition — high miles on an engine built to go the distance.

• Automatic transmission — easy to drive, easy to live with every day.

• Bright Amber Clearcoat Metallic — stands out on the job site without trying too hard.

The Nook Take
This is exactly the kind of truck we love to put on the lot. The 7.3 Power Stroke doesn't need a sales pitch — it has 25 years of reputation behind it. If you want a capable, honest, hard-working diesel crew cab at a fair price, this is the one worth driving out to see.

2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus — Beautiful Car, Runs Great, but Needs Battery, Priced to Move. Accepting Reasonable Offers. - $11,750

Beautiful Solid Black 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus, rear-wheel drive, with Black interior and 119,557 actual miles. The car itself runs and drives superbly with an excellent interior and exterior — no funky odors, no beat-up seats, and the body presents exactly how you’d expect from a well-cared-for Tesla. Steering, brakes, suspension, screens, and features all behave like they should.

Now for the “let’s get real” part: it has a bad high-voltage battery pack. That’s the reason it’s here and the reason the price is way below retail. We’re selling this specifically for someone who knows how to repair or replace the pack, has a source for a used/reman unit, or wants a project/parts car. If you’ve got the skills, tools, or connections in the EV world, this is a rare chance to get into a clean Model 3 Standard Range Plus for a fraction of normal market value — and it’s priced exactly with that in mind.
