I'm gonna miss her alot. :(

Traded my truck in today. 2 weeks back I was pre-approved from Ford for up to $53,000 purchase.

So I found me an 08 Expy and ditched my Dodge...happiness ensued, the people were happy.

:lurk:

Then Friday, I get a call saying Ford has turned down my loan...even though they had previously said yes...just pick the vehicle.

So after alot of negotiating, and my credit getting raped by the Dealership (thanks alot *******s), they said just bring the Expy back and get your Dodge back.

Some arguing occured, and it finally came out what really happened.

I was about $3,000 upside down on the Durango. Ford was unwilling to roll this over...even though I was well under the $53,000 ceiling.

So I offered up my F-150 as a trade-in.

KBB said $20,000 in excellent condition for trade-in...and $27,000 for purchase retail.

So I figured anything over $19,000 and I'd go for it.

Dealership gave me $22,000 for the truck on trade-in.
it was a 2006 Supercrew FX4 with Luxury Package (aka Lariat rebadged)
-Roushcharged
-Leveling Kit
-Very Shiny

They knew I had a F-150...but I don't think they realized what I actually had.

As soon as I drove it on the lot, you could see the dollar signs in their eyes. Pretty much slobbering at the bit to sell my truck...which btw, there wasn't a nice used F-150 to be found. Nothing but 09's on their lot, or beat up POS trucks.

And then they found out about the RoushCharger...couldn't get me into the Finance Office quickly enough.

I'm very bummed about the truck being gone...but family stuff comes first. I'm gonna try and pay the Durango off early and work my way into a 07-08 F-150 in about 1.5 yrs...unless I can get a good deal on a 09+ F-150.

Sounds like a stupid thing...but for those with kids, I hope y'all understand if nobody else does. The Durango, and the F-150 just aren't big enough. The Expy is damn near perfect.

wow bad weeks for the f150 guys, lol.i am gonna miss mine, but i'll get over.

That sucks bud. I figured it was going to be a wreck before I opened the thread. My heart broke for you bud when I found out the truth. I am a single guy with just a gf and no kids, but I agree family comes first and needing the Expy. You got an awesome Expy.

That sucks that you had to give up the truck though. They should have figured this out from the start in my opinion with computers helping to figure out financing. I'd tell them you'll find somewhere else to buy from in the future or they will have to work extremely hard to get you as a customer over this problem.

Good luck and let us know if you need anything... especially me. Always here for you brother!

Thats the saddest pic of them all, looks like the truck is in disbelief:(
Good luck with the new Exp:thumbsup:

Post some pics up of the expy man! I myself have a soft spot for Expys.

So, you had to trade a Durango, plus your F-150, and you still have a payment, correct?

Did you look anywhere else but Ford for credit?

I enjoyed seeing your "projects" on the truck. :)
I know your gonna miss that supercharger! :(
Good that you bought another Ford.

Looking good in the expy though.:thumbsup:

That sucks that your f150 is gone but your expy is sweet. Great luck with it. I bought my f150 because I had my second son, had to trade in the stang though.

Time to start modding the Expy!

Think he traded the F150 instead of the Durango.

Jesus no! Not you too Tylus!

should have taken the blower off and installed it on the expi! would have helped your wife make a lil cash on the side for your new truck fun!

btw your daughter is missing a tooth :D

Tylus say it aint so brother you should have just traded in one of your children hahaha
Im sure it felt like you did. Good looking Expy though
