I would like everyone's opinion on the best way to sell and get top dollar on my 01 SuperCrew before my 02 L comes in. I've already spent around $70 bucks for ad listings($30 with Autotrader.com, $40 with local newspaper for 3 wk run). I've also posted it to the F150Online Classified.

I know this is off topic but I assumed that there would some current lightning owners that had to sell their car in order for the $$$$ to be used as down pmt for the L. Trade-in value is a joke but I probably have 3 mo. to try and sell it private party before 02 L comes a knockin.

Thanks.

 

I don't really have any more tips for selling than what you're currently doing, but here's my .02.

Under any circumstances, it is very difficult to sell a late model used vehicle. As a seller, the price you want is usually within a few thousand of a new one. Unless it's a lowend car, which a Super Crew is definitely NOT, the savings on a good used one are not tempting enough to steer potential customers away from buying brand new, unless you're giving it away.

Low financing rates on new ones don't help either. A new one with 0 or .9% financing will often times be CHEAPER than a year old one with a few thousand miles and more expensive bank financing.

I don't know what else to tell you except to persevere.

 

Yep I have been trying to sell my Silver 98' F150 STX 4.6l all power, truck for months now. I have had a few interests but not enought to make a hill of beans. I also am trying to sell my Jet Black 94' LT-1 325 HP Formula Firebird w/ 63,000 miles but haven't had much luck either.
Anyone know anyone that wants one of these.
Priced @ $14,300 for the 98'
$6900 for the 94'
PLEASE LET ME KNOW, cascview@yahoo.com, I am trying to buy some land.

 

Yeah. I've thought about everything you've said. It would help me if interest rates would return to normal in enough time to sell my truck. Then when I sell it and fn my L they return again. Ideal world, I know, but someone's gotta live there.

Thanks.

 

I don't have any words of wisdom, the used car market seems pretty flooded right now. I sold my F150 to CarMax a couple of weeks ago and they gave me $4K more than the dealer offered on trading it in. Put the money in the bank to collect interest, then got the 0% from Ford on a new L the same day. It was a pretty easy way to do it.

 

drmoore:

was the price carmax gave you inline with kbb,nada,etc. More/less?

I've taking my truck to driver's way here in BHam and they quoted less than kbb. You think carmax might give me a better deal? They have one in Atlanta and Nashville.

 

They use Kelly's basically, but really did price all the options and consider the condition, unlike a dealer tries to do on a trade in. I got a little over Bluebook trade in value.
