Before pics I was thinking 22. After pics is say 26. You know deep down what you truly want for it. If I was in the market, I wouldn't wanna pay more than 25.

26 is what I'd feel happy with....25k in my face I'd say take it too

seems like I'm close to what others are saying

will post a ad on here and craigslist. my buddy said ebay but I think they **** you on a percentage of selling price. that would be ideal for advertisement

I wouldn't do ebay at all. And be careful on craigslist,I don't deal with anybody that has a out of state area code. You should finish your deal at a bank and have the cash checked out.

Around here you buy a new $90000 truck, put $20000 of aftermarket goodies into it, it's now a $30000 truck.
Probably because were flooded with big trucks.
Your 09 here would pull $18000-$23000

When I also lifted truck prices are inflated. I paid 46K before tax for my truck. Used Sports with a lift and tires are listed at 55K. Realistically I think I could get out of my truck for 50K private sale. Even used Longhorns are listed at or higher than what I paid new, it's crazy!

Problem becomes not everyone wants a lifted truck. That's why next year when I go to sell and upgrade I might remove the body lift and just sell it with the level and no 35's.

i would say you would probably get about the same near me. lift/tires and other mods dont add much if any value. if anything, its going to make the truck a tough sell, unless of course somebody happens to love exactly what you have done. then you have to find somebody that willing to pay for that. not an easy task. to get the most money out of it, put it back to stock and sell all the parts off.

Looks good! Was it the fun of building the truck, or not liking the result? That is a lot of work and expense to sell only 2k miles later.

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

Same thing if he was near a military base. Some dumb private will get in over his head to get something like this and not blink twice.

Ha...too true.

I had this conversation more than once with my junior Marines from making stupid car buying mistakes.

Oceanside is the worst!

I took a beating on my first truck when I traded it in.
