I am a serious buyer. I made an offer on the Turtle listed at GXV. No go though. I am traveling to Charleston in two weeks. How long of a drive would that be to see the vehicle?

Not all the pictures are the same vehicle...crew cab?

Regards

Thanks for the interest Hannahdog. Charleston to the rig's location is about 315 miles. Yes, not all pics are from the rig...regular cab. I have extra add-on goodies that could be included as part of the deal potentially. Please text me and we can switch to more private conversation.

Hey - thanks so much. These are such great rigs as many of us know!

 

[angoodp]

"I am a serious buyer. I made an offer on the Turtle listed at GXV. No go though."
I'm quite curious what you offered as I am considering an offer...

Hi Jimch - well for this rig here, I'd be happy to chat about it further...it's a nice rig and ready to go!

Hi Jimch - well for this rig here, I'd be happy to chat about it further...it's a nice rig and ready to go!

I think things got screwed up here, very sorry. In fact, I could be a serious buyer but I'm trying to sort things out whether a Nimbl would be more appropriate. Fully equipped about the same price as you, $282,000. I was wondering what price Hannadog offered that was turned down on the used Turtle at GVX.

 

[angoodp]

Understood - thanks for the clarification. Would still be happy to chat about this rig & pros/cons compared with the Nimbl outside of the general forum conversation - if you'd like to text me then we can coordinate.

SOLD TODAY - Thanks to everyone who had a look and may you all enjoy your adventure in the overland world. We certainly plan to - just in a different rig now!

Looks like the one that GXV had for sale on their website is also sold. It only had 7,000 miles on it.
