Type of lift and tires?

R/T_Fire · Dec 22, 2015

Its worth whatever someone will pay for it, take the high end of the nada value then add 50% of the value of your mods.iys a damn good looking truck.

i have always been told that options that i add don't really make a difference when trading in, i have been told to take all my aftermarket parts off... now if we are selling locally then i think you would be able to get more of what you want because you can appeal to certain buyers.. dealerships have to try to appeal to all buyers, which is why they go so low on estimates to buy your vehicle.

i would go to carmax and see what kind of quote they give you. then go from there. hope all goes well with you. like others have said, lets see some pics! and then post in the for sale threads here!

i was thinking between 26-28 , thanks will list it for 28500 as everyone loves to start low

JUICEBOX · Dec 22, 2015

Yeah i always start high cause nobody wants to pay what you ask even if its fair, when they negotiate you down, they feel like they have won. I guess thats all of us though

Sell private or be prepared to not like what you get. I only got 26 for my '12 with 30k miles. Lift and tires had 1000 miles on them. Let me guess, you're looking at a powerjoke?

Expect zero cents on the dollar for the mods expenses trading in to a dealer as they more than likely will kick it to auction rather than deal with any liabilities selling it on their used lot.

Private party, "maybe" 25-50 cents on the dollar for your mods. You built the truck to your liking, not necessarily to somebody else.

That out here in cali you could probably get 30ish... You know your area's market better but I'd put it up at 30 and see what nibbles you get.

People pay ridiculous money for things here that are modified, but they generally don't give a return on their investment as I'm sure you already know.
Blue book says 24k but thats not with all the extra work and "image" your truck has which helps sell it for more than blue book to recoup the cost of modifications.

The diesel market here is crazy that way right now, modified clean 2nd gens are going for 15-20k with 200K + on the ticker

Thatdude596 · Dec 22, 2015

gasser you sold to dealer if I recall. I think you could have gotten close to 28 29 private party

JExpress14 · Dec 22, 2015

Honestly all depends on who's buying it and how badly they want it. It's a limited market, just have to find the right buyer. I had a 1990 mustang that was coyote swapped overhauled all tubular suspension coil overs t56 6 speed and I got rid of it for 25 most people offered like 16-18 which was ******** haha just gotta wait for the right buyer dude.

Thatdude596 · Dec 22, 2015

thanks guys

clh1220 · Dec 22, 2015

I think your buyer will be somebody young. When I see a truck like that it just makes me wonder if it's been abused. I do see new trucks on the lot that are lifted. So there must be a market for them. They might not want to sell a used one like that though. I'd sell it outright or take some of your mods off before you trade.

Thatdude596 · Dec 22, 2015

totally understand but I think once seen in person you can tell it seen babied. wife drove it for 90% of the time to work and back. I understand whst your saying, some may think it's been an offroad vechicle..truth be told never

This right here.

This goes for any vehicle modding...when it comes time to sell it may be tough finding that specific buyer....especially with a big ass truck like yours.

Some kid with no credit will get daddy to co sign and it will be gone

Statcher1 · Dec 22, 2015

I'd say you can get around $28k for it. You could sell it any day of the week around here for that.
