How much do you think I could get for my truck?



2008 Black F150 XLT 5.4L V8 Supercrew 4x4 6.5' bed
Mileage: 35000
Interior is super clean
Exterior has one small dent on passenger side rear door smaller than a nickel and minor chips in paint but nothing significant

Extras:
6" Fabtech Suspension Lift w/ dirt logic fronts and rears
35 12.50 r17 Toyo Open Country M/Ts (about 400 miles on them)
XD Series Addicts
Bushwacker Extend-a-fenders painted to match
K&N 77 Series Intake
Flowmaster American Thunder Dual Exhaust w/ 50 series muffler
Dual Angel Eyes Projector Headlights (smoked)
LED tail lights and 3rd Brake Light (smoked)
Spray-on Bed liner
Westin Black Nerf Bars
Saleen S331 Hood painted to match (still working on getting a grill insert made for it, but have the stock hood as well)
Alpine Nav/DVD/MP3/Single disc deck
4 Kicker KS68's in front and rear
2 Kicker KS 25mm tweeters in the front
Interior Lights replaced with cool blue LED bulbs


Also have a Dynamat Extreme Bulk kit that has not been put in and a Dynamat Hoodliner.

Let me know what I should be asking for my truck because I really dont know what I could get out of it. I would like to get around 31-32k out of it but am realistic about it. I look forward to hearing from you guys.

Private party book is about 25k, assuming 4wd and a 5.5' bed. All those mods don't add ONE CENT to the book value.

You might be able to get 29k (maybe) for it but for the most part the mods you added are not going to increase the value much.

yeah its 4WD and has a 6.5' bed. 29k would definitely work for me. I just need to find the right buyer. What type of upgrades really add value to the truck?

6.5' bed doesn't add book value.

Go over to Carmax and get an offer - this will give you a better idea what it's worth in your area.

To get anything close to what you've put into it, you'll have to find the right buyer which is hard to do. Don't expect to get more than like $2000 over book value of the stock truck unless you can find somebody that loves it and is willing to pay for the add-ons

No way you're getting 29K for it, at least not around this area (TX/OK/KS). I think it'd be on the high side to get 25K out of it. The only thing you have going for you is the low mileage since it's technically still under warranty (although most dealerships will deny any powertrain warranty with your existing mods). The rest of your mods (aside from bedliner) are worthless as far as driving the value of the vehicle up. Good luck though. I'll give you a hint: I paid $30K for my 2008 Lariat brand new with a lot more options than your XLT, so I can't imagine someone paying that same amount for a 3 year old truck. You could go out and buy a new 2010/11 4x4 XLT for 30K.

Thanks for the hint, although I figured as much. I paid 25k for the truck brand new and all the mods together are up around 15k retail so I wanted to see what you guys thought. Thanks for all the info and advice. I will put it on auto trader and see what happens. If I don't get any decent offers I will just keep the truck and be just as happy. Thanks again.

Why do you want to sell it after putting so much into it?

I only spent about 9-10k to get all aftermarket parts and did all the work myself. I wanted to try and sell the truck to see what I could get out of it. I am in the Air Force and found out recently that I am likely to be stationed overseas for my next assignment. No use storing the truck for 3+ years just to come back to a depreciated truck. Better to try and get what I can out of it and let someone else enjoy it. I love the truck but am trying to be realistic about my situation.
