Hey guys,

just out of curiosity what do you guys think i could get if i sold my truck

2008 Ford F-150 4WD
5.4L Flex Fuel
5 1/2 Supercrew
Lariat Edition
9,000 Miles

perfect condition

other goodies ive added are in my sig

KBB private party quotes me at

$29,455

Ive paid about $5k so far i believe, i think i still owe somewhere around $30 on it.

anyways just wondering, let me know!

 

$19,500.00

 

I think you just hurt his feelings.

 

Sounds like a nice truck. Why do you want to unload it?

 

I see new used 2008 fx4 on dealers lots around this price all day. Not trying to hurt feelings, just stating a fact. The new 09's are killing the resell value of our trucks.

My ford dealer still has atleast 5 new 08's on there lots dirt cheap.

 

i took mine and tried to trade it in as is in sig and they quoted me 12.5k i still owed 29k this was the dealership i bought it at trading it for a diesel. that was the middle of 08' im sure its even less now but they aint gettin it for that.

 

bought my 08 xlt screw 4x4 in january of 08.

tried to trade it when the started shaving $15-20k off the 08 FX4's about 4 months ago and they would not even tell me how much they would give me for it.

Just tried to get me to agree to a x amount of monthly payment and they would try to make it happen. i said, tell me trade in amount or i walk. Stil do not know what amount they we're going to give me.

 

i was quoted at $23k without the guy even looking at it. im sure i would get more if he actually saw it and looked at it

im not trying to get rid of it, at least not yet.

i mean dont get me wrong i love it to death but ive been in trucks all my life and was looking at possibly a BMW

but since i cant get as much as i owe on it, it sucks. it will only get worse too

i dont do much hauling in it anymore and if i ever needed a truck i got my dads f-250 and 2 suburbans

but i did just get a puppy and would have no place to put a kennel when hes older, well i guess maybe on the backseat

also i didnt realize i took my sig out

heres a pic

 

Values have actually gone up on our trucks since summer 2008 when gas cost more than double what it is today. Check Edmunds and KBB for the best guesses on values.

 

This is what NADA.com is stating.

I paid $17,800 for my 08 with 7500 miles on it a few weeks ago that had a $35600 sticker. It is 4x2 w/4.6 so I imagine 5.4 and 4x4 would add a few grand more. My biggest reason for buying used WAS the resasle value. Best I could do on a similar NEW 08 was $23-24K. Figured I'd let someone else take the $5-6K hit and I'd buy an extended warranty if the extra year of warranty meant that much to me. The new body style certainly hurts resale. I'm sure if you had negative equity or put little down when buying new, you were upside down before the ink dried Guess the best thing to do is to drive and enjoy, it is a pretty nice truck after all.

 

Tried to sell my 07 for a month and 1/2. A few wanted it but the banks turned them down or asked 5k down. Best offer was 17,500 from a dealer. I took it just to get rid of the 500/mth. payment. Lost money. These are bad times and I think it's gonna get worse.

 

so i think im going to put it up on craigslist and see if i get any nibbles

how should i do it, i still owe like $31k or so, so should i say take over payments in the ad? or buy it completely? or what

thanks for the help guys

 

Return to stock, sell off the aftermarket stuff, then start an ad. No take over payments, just sell it outright.

Good luck! What are your reasons for wanting to sell?

 

well im not sure i will sell it i just want to see if anybody is interested. if so then i might

but like i said before i dont haul much in it anymore so the bed is always empty.

well i dont want to return it to stock if im not sure im going to sell it. ill start by listing it as is.

what do you think i should list it at? especially since i owe $31k
