I paid $9600 for my 06 STX with 47k on the clock. That price is a ripoff.

on the last pick of the front part that everything is attatched to, (sorry dont know what its called) its a really boring one, all the other companies have a really fancy looking one with the brand right on the front, the procomp lifts use that same one. i have a stg1 and it looks the exact same. its a pure guess but i think im right.

price seems a little high but not a complete ripoff like some people are saying, when iwas looking for my truck about 6 months ago (i lived in idaho) i couldnt find a newer truck with decent mileage for less then 20, ford, chevy, gm, dodge. looked at all companies. most of these trucks were also very standard versions. found my truck on my brother in laws brothers lot, he was asking 21 but i got it for 17.5k with 70k miles. traded in my previous cars and had to roll over 3k, so im right on par with what that asking price is.

I agree with you, when I was looking for a truck back in March and April I looked at every company that makes full-sized trucks and if you wanted a crew cab, 4x4, all power options, leather interior, and mileage under 80K the average price range was about $18K-$25K for anything from 04-06 models regardless of brand. I did see some 4x4 XLT Screw models with around 60K miles, no leather, basic options, basic stereo for under $16K. But again, it just comes down to what you want in your truck.

Why does the front end look like it needs an alignment really bad, bad angle on the pic or potential issue later on???

yeah an STX. there plain and ugly. this is an fx4 which would have cost a lot more from the dealer new. and i remember reading somewhere that you got your car cheap from your uncle or some family or something for cheap.

Yep madeSICC nailed it. Thats the front crossmember of a Procomp 6" lift. The lift can be bought brand new for $1500 so it shouldnt increase the value of the truck that much.
