I realise that a 'modified' truck isnt worth much when selling, but knowing how well the truck has been taken care of, its like a brand new truck. there is VERY VERY little rust on the undercarriage, and for a truck thats spent 4 year in buffalo's winters, thats quite a feat in itself.

so what do you think I can get for it?

 

about 8K - 9K

 

Well, i dont think the duck is a great selling point. I think it is bringing down the value...

 

between $8000 and $10000 is my bid.....

its rather new with low miles

and the duck totally adds another grand....

i know cause i have one too...

 

im getting $7,000 trade in for my ranger

 

this might sound stupid but what is a tailgate indicator lol

 

^ I was wondering the same thing.

 

^^ me to. but I'd go 10-12k

 

I believe its an led that tells him if its open or closed

 

i paid 9k for mine... and it was older with more miles. same basic truck tho, 4.0 4x4... bone stock tho. i'd say try for 11-12k

 

You have to tell us what your replacing it with now.

 

i take it your fixin to get rid of it? or are you just doing this in case you decide you wanna sell?

 

8k-10k depending on the market up there.

 

$10-11,000 is what that truck would go for down here, and if it were a stick shift it would sell quicker most likely, there are too many automatic rangers down here just sitting on lots.

 

I think he's getting a F-150.

 

If i sell the ranger, ill be buying my mothers 1997 ford escort pile of **** 4 cylinder.

 

i will buy the truck for $1 and then lease it back to you for $0.10 a year on a ten year lease unlimited mileage. that way those blow holes cant get it from you.

 

I think that you need to find some one who is looking for a truck with an intent to mod it, not someone who is happy with a stocker. With that in mind, I would pay maybe 12-13. That was how I sold my camaro for more than the blue book, I sold it to some high school kid that was in udder amazement.

 

Around here you could probably get 11-13k for it. However I wouldn't sell it for an old escort. They have a lot of problems. You have a reliable truck.

 

my truck (2001 with 69,500 miles, edge package, 4x4 power everything, 4.0L with bedliner, brushguard and roll bar was quoted to me as being woth $10,800 thru VEHIX.COM
so, your 2004 with 47,000 miles i'll bet is worth $13,000 (retail) $10,000 (trade)

 

8000 to 9000 if a dealer buys it 11000 to 13000 if it's private party

 

i just checked your numbers and vehicle description with vehix. com: Dave, your ranger is worth $14,000 retail. $11,000 trade value.
you can get a lot more than $8,000 easily, due to your low miles.

also, you have a lot of aftermarket stuff: so that adds up as well!

 

Realistically, $10,000.

 

problem is dealers arent giving anything in trade.. and alot of sales of these things are down so its prolly not worth more than $5000-6000 on a retail trade.. id search KBB and edmunds online then id add a couple of hundred... frankly my minivan has a 4300 trade in yet no dealer wants to give me more than $2000 for it i paid $11K two years ago for it...

 

dealer would give maybe 8000 thats pushing hard the run it at MMR so auction pricing.
