It's worth what an unencumbered party is willing to pay for it. "Offer" and "payment" are not synonymous.

A 1979 truck? In the rustbelt?
Well he didn't say what it was worth of course. It might be worth $100 and he was offered $185. That qualifies as "dang near twice what it's is worth"

My imaginary magic 8-ball says you were offered $5850 for it. Of course that thing hasn't worked well for a long time.
Anyway, regardless of the dollars and cents of it, if the guy offered what you think is close to twice its value, then he probably wants it a lot more than you do. It'd be nice to let him have it, but if you do you're out a truck. The next big question is whether or not that money will buy you something as good or better than it is. If you think you can make that happen: sell.

Of course, what does it cost to replace? IIRC you aren't particularly keen on the modern bells and whistles and repair costs. You could be offered 2x what it's worth on the market, yet still be 10x below what it's worth to you, based upon what it'd cost to replace.
Of course, if you have no use for it, and are looking to fund the next project, well that's different.

Heck yes, and buy something that doesn't exceed the proceeds(by much anyway!).

Ah yes! Is there a Ranger in your future?
Hello, Please fill in a few details.
$ you got for the truck.
Miles on the Cherokee.
What you want to spend on the new compact truck.
What galls me is how lousy the fuel mileage of "little trucks" is.
Whatever you do I'd think twice about buying any Dodge truck.
My friend's Dakota rusted and cracked like a sofa sat on by an elephant.
And my friend said that '95 Dakota was the last of the "good ones".
They're ALWAYS for sale around here which tells me they are }censored{. Kira

Got $7300 (!) for the Fummins, spent maybe $200 to deliver it to the guy.
Cherokee has 209K.
Want to spend as little as I can...ideally, about $2500.
I'm looking at Dakotas...would love a 1993-96 square-body truck. Looking at a 4-banger 95 RC/SB and a V8 2001 EC tomorrow.
