Apologies in advance if I'm asking this information in the wrong place. I'm new to posting in these forums. I couldn't find Blue Book values of the 1990 to compare pricing, so I'm here.

I have a very nice 1990 F150 XLT Lariat that has not seen winters and I unfortunately need to sell it. (Moving across country)

Considering it's overall great condition and that it has been babied throughout its life, would it be worth close to $10,000? I seriously don't want to sell it, and to me I think it's worth around $10,000....as an original collector/classic... but that's just my opinion/feeling.

Thoughts?

P.S. It has 171,000 miles on it and mechanics have told me the underside is rust-free. Has been well-maintained by a mechanical engineer and a Senior Toyota Service Manager throughout its life.

What did you give for it and how long have you had it?

So clean! the only problem is trucks have advanced so much in 25 years, if you look at what one could get for 10k you may be unpleasantly surprised, the truck is old has high mileage and ancient tech, the only pro being a clean body, I don't feel this is worth 10k but a vehicle is worth what someone is willing to pay, there orb isn't much out there to compare prices but the classified can determine the value,sorry to be honest it is my worst and greatest asset

For that truck around here, you'd get 3-6k all day every day. There's just a limited market for people that want to pay that much for a 25 year old truck. It's clean, but not really a collector's item like the old F1's.

For anyone that's ever restored one, they would know that it can easily take 10k to get it into that kind of shape.
So I don't doubt that it's worth that.
Finding a buyer may be a little hard though - phones not going to be ringing steady at that kind of price.
If it was a reg cab short box 4wd in that condition, it would be a little easier.
Depending how long you want to take selling it of course, but I'd put it more around 6500 and maybe be prepared to move a little.
Unless you find a buyer that "has to have it ". Then the sky's the limit.
That's just what I see from one picture. Real sweet truck though.

I can't imagine getting $10k for that truck. I would say $3-5k around here. FWIW that's the nicest truck in that body style I've seen, and the only one I've liked.

I'm sad to have to say it, but 10k is out of whack. I'm in the market for a truck for my son, and I've only seen them as high as 7k. I believe you think it is worth that much, but finding someone to pay that much might prove very difficult. Is there anyway you can keep the truck?

I'll tell you this much, none of these new trucks are going to be running or look that good in 25 years. Definitely a keeper. What a beautiful truck for around-town hauling.....Add a newer one for road trips.

Its a nice truck for sure...I wish mine (same year, body/bed, motor, trim) was in that good of shape.

However, the reality is theres a limited amount of buyers that desire that 8th generation body, 2wd, supercab. As said above, most would want a standard cab 4wd. Even the motor to some people is actually a downside considering the terrible fuel mileage, average power and i would be hesitant of 171k original miles....age and wear is likely to end in failure.

All in all, the truck is nice but its not new enough to be worth 10k and its not old enough to be worth 10k. I would say if someone offered anything above 6k, take it.

For comparison, my '90 F150 is the XLT Lariat, SCSB, 5.8L (W), E4OD, 4wd w/149k miles, great interior and good exterior with no rust. I bought it 18 months ago for $3,900 off a used lot. In my area, i felt i paid the high end of a fair deal but got a great truck for the money. If i was at the 10k price point, it would have been at least an '04 F150 with lesss than 100k miles and 4wd.

Heres what i got:

Don't let anyone knock you on mileage, especially one that has been properly maintained and "adult" driven. Mines got almost double that with the original drive-train.

Price: you're kind of dreaming. I would say you MAY get half of that depending on the selling location. If you take it to a rusty state you will get way more than say Arizona/Nevada where it's quite common to see rust free trucks of this generation.

Just for some info, I gave $1800 for mine, she was in pretty good shape, a couple of dings, but nothing really major, also had 250k+ miles, a fairly clean interior, and I was happy to pay that but I wouldn't have paid much more regardless if it would have been cosmetically perfect.
