ANOTHER what is the truck worth thread

[DieselBrad]

Hey guys. I already know what KBB and NADA say but it doesnt even list the options. A buddy of mine is looking to sell his truck

07 supercab 4door 4.0 4wd auto
fx4 level 2
100k
Black/gray
black leather interior (very odd)
custom front bumper
32/11.50/15s on polised aluminum wheels

Originally from texas but has been in PA for the past 4 years.
VERY clean

Book value is 9-11k
but what is real world value?

Depends.. real world value depends on how bad you need the money and your reach outward to find an ass that wants to sit in that seat because its the truck (S)he has always wanted and cant be without.

You said KBB doesnt list the options? What options, leather? or the 100k miles? lol

Sorry but KBB, Dealerships, NADA dont add or list sentimental options. It came with tires from the factory.. doesnt matter that you paid $120 more per tire than the original tires that came with it... they hold air. Same with the custom bumper, it came with one. Some dealers may even shy away from it just because its not an OEM bumper and there's no DOT classifications..

If that trucks going for $11k with 100k miles and the condition its in assuming you're honest with yourselves.. TAKE IT AND RUN !

Otherwise expect a bit less or like I said, wait for the perfect ass for that seat. Meanwhile KBB and NADA update their lists every week now. Its losing value every day whether you think so or not. Worse case scenario, have KBB buy your car for $11k.

Oh thats right, they dont buy or sell cars. BUT heres a piece of useless info...

Kelley Blue Book is an Irvine, California-based company. COX Media is owned by Manhiem Auto Auctions, KBB is owned by the Automotive Subsidiary of COX Media.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... Can you say fixed market?

Kbb is bull, never go by anything kbb says. Best way to determine a real world reasonable price is to do research. Check sales of other similar vehicles online, local dealers etc. Like James said, your "options" aren't worth squat. Never think you will ever get a return on any aftermarket or custom things you put on a vehicle, in most cases they only lower the value.

If you're in no rush to sell, just set your price and just wait it out. 11k seems epically optimistic though. Thats roughly 50% original msrp (and no one pays msrp) on an 11 year old truck...

To show you how effed kbb is I put my truck in... They say its worth 8,000 in "Fair" condition. I only paid 14,000 for it brand new in 2009.

OHhhhhh.. And they own Autotrader too.. and a cable company that ensures you see EVERY AUTOMOTIVE AD possible.... Double whammy...

6 whole media companies own everything you see, watch, and think via planted seeds or just catering to your emotions.. Not to be confused with the Gold bars behind the dash of that $11k 100k Ranger. lol
