Sounds like a good price. KBB say retail is around $16,700. Private party is $14,300 in excellent condition, $13,900 in very good condition, $13,600 in good condition and $12,500 in poor condition

I think what I'm going to do is wait for the auction to end because I just don't believe that anyone will bid on the truck at his starting bid of 15K and the fact that it's a no reserve auction but hell I could be wrong.

Damn I didn't realize that ford charged that much to do trans flush. Does anyone know what they charge to do a coolant flush?

KBB is high compared to NADA. NADA clean retail is just over 15K.

The biggest difference between that one and mine is the lariat vs mine being a XLT.

Nice truck! What size tires are you running?
Yea he does have a few extras but in all honesty I don't care anything about that fiberglass bed cover, the nerf bars, bed rug or the billet grille but I figure I may have some luck putting those thing on craigslist and selling them.

Most radiator shops charge 60-90 for a radiator flush in my area and something like 169-200 to boil it. Ford would probably charge like 120 for a radiator flush maybe a little more

Flushing a radiator is about as simple as changing your oil. Theres a good write up on how to do it on one of these forums. All you have to buy is coolant and save yourself 100 bucks.

@SJP thanks man, I love my truck! I'm running Toyo M/Ts in a lt295/70R17. I've been extremely happy with them. In fact my buddy went out and replaced his Nitto Terra's with the Toyo's after he saw them on my truck!

I can tell that if I do buy the truck the bed rug will be coming out as soon as I get it back home and I will PM you.

Yea I've had 4 sets of Toyo M/T's and never had any complaints with them. Did you buy yours local or online?
