Just go for it and start at the 19 that you wanted. Let it sit up on craigslist or were ever for a while and see what happens.

Way too high.... Modifications equal deductions for most people. Unless you can find a dumb kid with money, your truck is worth maybe 11k in really clean condition.

let's hope there's a dumb kid ready to jump on it.

many will run away from a modified truck, or at least pay less and be more reluctant. can't stress that enough. they'll assume the trucks been ****hauled and abused.

This^. No one in their right minds would pay that for a 2006 here. And yes a lot of people will stay away from trucks with aftermarket mods because they dont know if its been installed correctly, abused, etc.

installed correctly is a worry.

I don't personally understand the abused part. yes many modified trucks are abused, but so are many stock trucks. many stock trucks are painstakingly looked after, so are many modified trucks. but, the bias prevails.

I won't buy a truck unless it's stock (or nearly so) because I want a clean slate for my own mods. (yes, I modify my trucks, I also look after them obsessively).

but, it'd have to be some truck for me to pay that.

If you want to make money off the aftermarket mods, strip the truck back to stock and sell your parts. Otherwise just be happy with 14k.

The OP should search local dealerships, Craigslist, etc to see what similar trucks are selling for. He might get close to what he's asking.

Like the saying goes "there's an *** for every seat".
