When a seller feels compelled to attempt to convince potential buyers that the asking price is 'perfectly fair' before they've even called, he's indicating that even he doesn't really believe it's perfectly fair to ask that much for it. Has been stated a thousand times on here - the $ a seller sinks into a truck to sell it has no relation to its actual worth in most cases. What I can say, is that if I'm on the fence interested in a truck - when the ad is written like this, I normally just pass to avoid the hassle.
