Default What condition to sell my truck in?

Next thursday Im going to go look at an 05 cc z71 that has high miles on it but Im not worried about the drivetrain since I know my way around it, I just want a black crew cab, even though its not the truck I really want it is less then half of what I would have to pay for the dmax I want and I can get a house two years sooner. Anyway on to the question, the engine/trans is out of the truck right now. It will be going back in over the next week. I have a small cam 205/212 115lsa(will use brand new LS6 springs), and a TT2600 that I can throw in when I put it all back together. Im just wondering if I shouldnt just put it back totally stock with the just the corsa catback, volant intake and tune and leave the baby cam and stall out of it to sell it. If I sold my truck on here I know those would be pluses for buying it but selling it to the general public it would be a minus. If I sold it to the general public I would pull the catback and intake off, and flash a stock tune back in it. I need to decide soon but I cant make up my mind. BTW the truck Im looking at has 124K on it and I could walk out of the dealership for 14k, not too bad IMO, and after I sell my truck I would only be into it for 6Kish which I could pay off really quickly thus Im wanting to jump on it. Its a good compromise between money spent and the new truck that I really want.

I posted this in the lounge but I figured I would ask here since I know alot of you dont make it out of this section

Why are you selling your truck to get something you don't want? Hold out for the D-max if that's what you really want. Just my 2% of a dollar.

Because I dont want to stretch myself that thin to get a really nice truck and get a house. I would rather have a lesser truck and more money to put towards the house. The main things I dont like about my truck is that its not black and its not a crew cab. I can deal with it not being a diesel or being loaded out. So this truck Im looking at to me is a good compromise between what I really want and what I really need. Plus I dont want to have a truck note when i get a house next year and I could easily pay this truck off by then so thats another plus.

IMO, it would be easier to sell it and would probably sell much quicker to the general public in stock form than either sold modded to general public or trying to sell it on here
