What do you think my truck is worth?
 

I know this will get a bunch of the typical, unimaginative "nothing because it's a Ford" posts I'll have to weed through but just curious what you guys think I should value my truck at?

I've checked three different auto value sites, entered all the info I can and I'm getting anywhere from $13-17k. But obviously none of these let me add in the mods/upgrades I've done to it so it's hard for me to decide what I'd be comfortable taking for it. I dont need the money, I'm content on keeping it but it's kind of a waste just sitting in my garage.

I'm gonna be straight with you the average person isn't going to care about the upgrades

I have no idea but that is a pretty truck.

Tree fiddy

And that's perfectly fine, like I said I dont have a time limit or even need to sell it. I have time to wait for someone who will appreciate what I've put into it. I'm not trying to get back all the money I have in it, but I'm not letting it go for $13k either.

Wash that dirty engine off.

Thanks! The plan was for a turbo but it can already get me into way too much trouble and almost has so I scrapped that idea.

How much hp do you think that'll add?

As Tamba said, you aren't going to get much (if any) returns on your upgrades. In fact, if anything, the peeling paint is actually going to knock off value. That's something that someone is either going to have to pay to fix immediately or live with an "ugly" truck as it continues to flake away. You may know that the black paint is flawless, but it will be a big red flag as many wonder if it's sealed or will start to rust etc.

Personal opinion on value: I'd use KBB's private party sale price for "very good" condition with your mileage and subtract $500-1000 to account for paint.

I would buy your truck for $1,500. I bet someone gives you 7k for it. But you are in SW Missouri where people really value trucks so maybe not.

Its not paint, its basically plastidip. It peels off easily, I just dont want to do it. KBB's was the highest estimate among the ones I checked though. And if I hold out for the right buyer, I think someone will appreciate the upgrades...especially after they test drive it.

I've already had an offer for $13k.

check kbb.com

peel that plasti-dip off and sell it to carmax

trucks are always $$$

Maybe I should just convert it all back to stock and sell all of the aftermarket stuff separately, I still have all of the stock parts.

So you'd do that but not peel off that plasti-dip crap that's definitely diminishing the $$$ you're going to get?

Whatever R8ers thinks it’s worth….

If trucks are much like sports cars in this regard mods will usually hurt the value.

I keep hearing carmax is paying well these days so might try them after you peel that stuff off your paint.

It's going to be a big mess and will probably take longer than removing my mods...other than the gears.

Stupid thread, mods delete if you want. Not sure why I posted this when I already have the mindset of just keeping the damn thing and letting it sit unless I get an offer that wows me.

nice truck, I like it

more than the decrepit single wide it's parked in front of


edit: I'm surprised you have an actual house


and FYI, mods and aftermarket typically devalue a vehicle

go to kbb.com get value then click instant offer, enter phone number and wait for 5 people to call you, you will get what it's worth pretty fast

This

If that’s the case, just list it for like $15k more than the minimum you would accept. Gives you room to negotiate and you might get blown away with an offer.

I don’t know but used cars are a sellers market right now. Even dealerships are begging for decent used cars.

Just checked, there's no Carmax within 3 hours from me.

Pics need some subliminal messages in the background. That likely buyers would enjoy.

I had a 2019 challenger
Dealership offered me 26.5k
Carvana Offered me 26.8 k
High Volume Used Car Dealer offered me 28k ( I sold it to them)
This is what they are selling it for

This. I saw a 4 or 5 year old F150 online with nearly 100k miles with an asking price of around $28,000. My uninformed opinion is I would think you could get at least 20k for this if you got the paint situation cleared up.

I’d say $69,420

I'm the sales manager at the local Ford store here. If that truck showed up at my lot tomorrow I'd cut you a check for 7 or 8 grand. Private party sale would prob bring 13k or so

It should be like in the 19000 range the problem is you need to power wash your engine and truckbed. Look very dirty but other then that it about 19000.

Corwin? They've already sent me countless offers in the mail ranging between 11000-12k. I dont even know how they got my info, I've been receiving those offers since long before I posted the ad.

I'll probably just end up holding onto it, doesn't sound like I'm going to get an offer worth it for me to sell.

How many payloads can it haul

Those swing-out tool boxes - let's make a deal for those babies.

In a post-apocalyptic world, a truck like this would be worth a ton: probably 500 rounds of ammunition, a virgin, and a box of Ding Dongs. In a post-apocalyptic world, Ding Dongs will be currency.

Heh, I plugged in a vehicle thats worth 4K and it told me my trade in value was $1105

What a joke.

I mean if you really want me to put a real dollar value on your truck, I will buy it. Like you say yes and I'll stroke the check. PM me.

I’ll give you something to stroke

:shrug:

a good coat of wd-40 really softens that stuff up. I did the grill of a jeep in about 30 minutes with a power washer.

It's not difficult, just time consuming and very messy.

Nothing because it’s a Ford.

You’re an outlier.

99% of those who plastidip their cars live in trailers.

Couple things...if I don't see a price in an ad...I move on. And for ****'s sake either clean up that engine bay or delete the pic of it.



I do like the paint color tho.

Took some advice and edited last paragraph/deleted engine bay pic.

99% of quoted statistics are made up on the spot.

total up what you paid for the upgrades; then shave off about 85%; then add that figure to the auto valuation sites are giving you. ; I would say that's the ball park.


upgrades / modes; are effectively just lighting money on fire when you put them on.

I'm not giving you shit/grief; as a motorcycle guy myself, all of the mods or upgrades I've done are things I never saw a return on ; ...and didn't really expect to. Maybe a slight value add for the right buyer but overall, it's nothing in the grand scheme.

If you can find the right buyer for your truck that is willing to pay a little extra for all the mods he/she already likes and would've done anyway.. then you could probably get a few more bucks.

What I'm gathering the most here is I might as well return everything to stock and sell the mods separately.

Thats a good looking truck. I don't know what it's worth, but with only 80K miles, it'd be north of $10K I'd think. Hell, I have 85K on my 2017. Look on ebay motors and see what F150's with similar mileage, year etc are going for and price it accordingly.

If you 've got the time; don't need to sell etc... that's what I would do if you still have the stock parts.

that's what I did on a couple of harleys; put all the stock crap back on and sold the aftermarket. probably got about 60% of my cash back, instead of virtually none of it keeping it on the bikes.

I don't know if it makes a big difference, but i never photograph my cars in the driveway. However, it is always best to photograph at dawn or dusk when the sun is low in the sky, the color comes out better without the harsh sun glare.

yeah man; for real, it's a clean nice looking truck.

They are building one off 65 and maybe Division. Somewhere over there.

Good looking truck. If I was in the market for a newer model pickup, I might be interested in something like that. But I like my old 03 F150. And it still only has about 130k.

Bug, just curious, why do you never take pictures in your driveway?

Has anyone farted on the back seats?

FYP

Because for one, I think it just makes the ad look lazy. And I also don't want distractions in the background, I only want a potential buyer to think about the vehicle and the places they can go and things they can do with it, not where I live or anything else.

Would you trade for a Nissan Pathfinder?:D

Have you tried Carvana? They will bring the truck and the check at the same time and you don't have to do shit. I think you will get more at a Used Car superstore type place that sells only better quality used stuff. Or maybe try Vroom

Yeah but are you really surprised he dipped it?

Need to sell your truck due to bad stock investments?

Pshhh wanna post your portfolio? I already have, put up or shut up.

What do you think my new car is worth?

99% less than before it was savagely defaced with vulgar images.

Still a weak V6?

Your Carr sucks!

The giant sword makes it look like you are over compensating for something.

Is this going to magically turn into your wife’s car too after we start shitting on it?

do you provide free shipping? :D

That car is gayer than billay in a truckstop bathroom.

Abandoned there, is it?

Probably will be towed several times over its history.

Get that dip peeled off and you can sell it for the top end all day. Trucks are selling at an unreasonable rate right now because of the chip shortage.
