The price looks a bit steep when you consider the gear is not included in the eBay starting price.

The value really depends on the quality of the build-out, plus the value of the vehicle.

Year 2000 Isuzu NPR trucks are going for 5-8k on Ebay; probably a lot less at local truck dealers/resellers. If the build-out, AC and acoustic work is phenomenal, it might be a decent value. To the original owner, the build-out is worth a million bucks of hard labor & original costs, but in the secondary market, custom build-out value is very minor, and you win or lose based on your buyer/seller agreement. Any included audio & video gear have a HUGE impact on final price.

The killer for me personally is the $400 "delivery fee" when it specifies local pickup. You charge the buyer $400 for them to pick it up in person?

Puh-leeeze. Am I missing something?

IMO, there are not enough detailed pictures to really know what is happening with that truck -- Their website also lacks a lot of information.

Okay, technically they are selling you the ignition key for $400, but it's worth it, it starts the whole truck!
