getting ready to sell my 97 f150 4x4 xlt regular cab with the 5.4. The reason im selling is to help fund a 04-08 f150.

truck has 172k miles on it which are all highway miles and i have never put it in mud or even a dirt road. no leaks anywhere and it runs perfect. the only problems with it is the lock/unlock button on the driver side doesnt work, the headliner is starting to come down in a few places, and the back bumper has a few small dents. i have ran nothing but mobile one full synthetic in it and change the oil every 3k miles. what do you guys think it is worth? there are pics in my albums

 

Well some of the mods you've done don't necessarily add to the value of the truck, unless you find someone that is pretty much wanting almost exactly what you have.

But being you have replaced a decent amount of the mechanical parts on it recently, and it appears to be in good condition for the age in mileage, I would say you could probably get about $1000-$1200 above what KBB says it's worth for private party sale.

IMO, I would try and return it to stock as much as possible, and sell some of the larger items separately.

 

thanks man that is about what i was figuring. dont know about returning it back to stock. im sure some 16 year old will see it and just fall in love with it. prolly wont last long if that happens

 

Well I hope if that happens, the kid learns he needs to take care of it for him to take care of him. :o

 

Reg cab, 11 years old, 172,ooo miles.
IMO without seeing the actual condition of the truck, interior, exterior, frame etc etc.
$3500 would be reasonable and $4k Top dollar on a "Private Party" sale.
Good luck

 

guess all i can do is set it around 6500 and see what happens. i really dont want to sell it.

 

 

Try listing it on mautofied.com. It seems like more people go for modded trucks on that site so you can sell it to people that may care more about your mods

 

The truck is worth about $3000-3500.

If you ask $6500, you are right, you won't sell it.

 

Then why sell it? What's so desirable about an 04-08 model year over your current truck?

 

i have already had 2 offers of 5800 and 6200 and i havnt even put it up for sale yet. that is just from people that know the truck.

 

what were you saying glc about my asking price? lol

 

i'm guessing you aren't a math major....

2011-1997=14

 

i could offer you 100,000 for the truck, doesn't mean squat until you have ash in hand. if you can get 5800 or 6200 take it and run.

 

this

a lot of my foxbody buddies get nice offers, then when they actually offer to sell it they back out or it falls through
