selling my truck and wanting yalls opinion on a good price to ask for it.

34k miles on it.
6" BDS lift
BDS AAL
315/70/17 BFG AT's
flowmaster super 44 dumped
pioneer avic d3 w/ bluetooth (navigation needs to be fixed, its about $100)
K&N intake 63 series
VMP tuning (might sell w/out truck, not sure if it will help or not)
newly rebuild rear end (will start another thread explaining)
xlt w/ 4.6 3.73 rear end
15% tint on front windows.
front seat is being fixed under warranty so possibly a new driver seat (small pipe was shifted and i wanted it fixed while its at the dealership)
UWS low pro tool box

 

just put a new ring in it, or a junk yard 10.75 axle

 

its at grapevine ford right now, i was also told it could be a few broken teeth on the ring gear and im gonna need a tow rig in a few months anyways so im looking at some stock ext. cab fx4's

 

well let me know if i can help you locate an axle, or do some work for you

 

i will for sure once i hear back from them letting me know if its warrantied or not. i was told it should, any reasons you can think of it wouldn't?

im looking for an 05-08 f150 fx4 extended cab with under 60k preferably with leather if anybody has any leads or considering selling theirs let me know.

 

private party on KBB is right at 23k
suggested retail value is $26k
trade in is $19k

i was thinking at asking $23.5k and just seeing what kind of offers i got. hoping to spend no more than 20k on the new truck so i can put some money into saving.

what do yall think?

 

I hate to play Devil's Advocate but...

You'll never get over KBB just because you spent a lot of money upgrading it to your liking. Now you not only have to find a buyer who has your identical tastes, but someone who can blindly trust a stranger to have installed a detailed suspension lift properly.

By all means- good luck on the sale, but I wouldn't expect to get a dime over trade-in value for it.

 

well i know that, but why start low? that just means they think they can haggle down even farther and then just puts you in a position on getting ripped off. its not like the thing has to be gone tomorrow or anything i can sit on it which is no big deal

 

$23.5K? Good luck with that. Modifications generally decrease the value of a vehicle.

If you get it, great. I don't think you will.

 

I'd just throw it on craigslist and, like you said, wait it out and see what happens. Good luck with everything bro.

 

Like I said, good luck with it. I agree to start out well above what you want to get- just making sure you have a realistic view of what you're up against.

My '05 booked out at 18.5k and I got it for $15k, completely stock and meticulously maintained by the dealer.

 

I would start at 19,999, and hope to get 17,000. Good luck with the sale.

 

if i were you i would get that thing detailed before you try and sell it, especially considering i noticed sand in your door panels, no one is goin to by it like that

 

Why dont you just take off some of the mods, maybe sell the truck for $20,000 buy a new one that you want then sell off the lift, maybe wheels and tires if you still have the stocks, and use that money for your savings. Or you can just throw that lift into your new truck..

 

I agree with the other posts. Mods decrease the value of a vehicle unless you find a private buyer with similar interests.

You said you were thinking about just leveling your next one and blacking it out. I was going to say take the mods off and put them on the new truck. You can at least take them off and sell the ones that won't go on the new one. Keep the stuff like your system, cai, tune, etc.

If I were to sell my truck right now that's how I'd do it.
