How much should i sell it for?

Im trying to sell my 01 Screw XLT 2wd with lots of upgrades including lift rims tires, ARE Tonneau and lots of other stuff you see. (getting a new screw)

I was in no hurry to sell it so I just threw on a for sale sign and put $13,000 on it. I live on a fairly busy street and have had a lot of people stopping and looking at it, but no offers.

I havent put it on craigslist or any magazines yet, but i will soon.

I was thinking of dropping the price to $11,500. Blue book is a little over 9,000 stock. I have more pics in the link in my sig.

So what price do you think it should go for?

my guess is that in a good economy it would have been picked up pretty quick at 13K. i would say list it at 12k and let them make a lower offer.

12,000 obo

To be honest, trying to get more than book value for a truck with aftermarket mods is tough. You may make out better demodding it and selling the parts separately.

Yes I Know. Thats why its not much over book, just a little to cover the items people like to add on lots of trucks that arnt really modded...ie the tonneau cover and rims.

If i were to add up all my upgrades and add it to book value it would be over 17g then im sure no one would by it.

I think taking all the mods off and trying to sell them separately would be a pain, expecially how easy aftermarket items are to come by these days.

But thanks for the idea.

id say 11k max. it might be a nice truck, but its nearly 9 years old at this point. then again i don't know how your market is where you are. i got 4-5k more than all the members on here told me to sell my truck for, and i traded it to a small dealer for my f250.

Betcha you could have gotten a much better cash price on that new truck if the tradein wasn't involved. That's a standard dealer tactic to make you feel like they are giving you a high tradein value. I used to do that all the time when I was selling cars.

yeah they basially just take a small cut on their profit b/c their car is price up so much. Unless yours is paid off, then your better off.

I'm trying to sell my truck locally in Socal, and have had no luck at all. I am selling it for well below blue book and no takers. It is a 2003 DSG Supercrew, automatic 4.6L V8 in excellent condition with 46000 miles, 3.5" Fabtech spindle lift with 1.5" rear block, 33" tires, 16x8 procomp wheels, Fabtech shocks, custom grill, fuel door, and step bar. I am asking $10,500 and not a single taking. Hopefully you'll have an easier time selling.

Did you ever end up getting the $9,500 for it? I'll be looking to sell mine in about a year. Just curious about the process, I've always traded in my vehicles for the most part.
