So I have an opportunity to buy a 1995 Chevy pickup from my aunt... but I'm not sure what a fair price would be.

I'm pretty sure the pickup is a 1500, as it has the V6. Extended cab, long bed, manual. No A/C. AM/FM cassette. Aqua/Teal color. Pretty spartan, as that how my uncle bought things. The truck has only 32K miles on it... and was last driven 4 years ago. It has been parked in a lean-to during this time and is covered in dust... but I can see the truck is in really NICE shape. The only damage is that someone hit the left corner of the rear bumper... causing the bumper to kink and put a small dent in the bed.

KBB is listing this at $3755... but I feel that is kinda low. Any thoughts?

My mother wants it, and I am trying to see if a 2 truck deal can be swung (including a rusty '77 Chevy), but I want to find a fair price.

The KBB price is high, if anything. A low -optioned V6 1500 just isn't worth much, remember the 2005 I went to look at? It was not selling at $4k.

The flip side is that this truck is barely broken in and would make a reliable utility vehicle.

Just find out what your aunt wants out of it, and pay her that - you'll both go away happy.

Since this is a family situation, I agree with Camino here. Do a bit of research, but in the end, come to a family agreement on what's fair.
