Default To trade or not to trade?

O my friend who works at the local ford dealership and sold me my 2012 Fx4 screw Eco with appearance package, told me that he just received a 2012 raptor screw that's fully loaded and extra clean wit 51,000 miles. He told me that he would take my truck in on trade which is extra clean and only has 12000 miles on it and throw in the ESP PREMIUM extended warranty up to 75,000 miles and I would pay a little more than I do now a month. So should I or shouldn't i? What do you think?

So your thinking of trading for a truck with 4x the mileage?
Personally I'd say that's silly.
It really doesn't matter what any of us think at the end of the day if your happy with what you have that is what counts.
If you really want the raptor go get it.

I vote keep your truck. Raptor's are cool but not really practical. Save the money you would for the Raptor and do some mods.

Thats a tough choice, but if it was me, I'd stick with what I had. The reason I bought a brand new truck is so I have the peace of mind knowing exactly what my truck has been through.

You say that your payment would only be a little more, but how many more years/months would you be paying? That is something to consider...

Pay a little more a month? Does the Raptor lengthen your current amortization period, or does it extend the loan term

I agree with everyone else. Keep your current truck. You know what you currently have and it only has 12k on the clock. That said, it is your money, so do what you feel is best for yourself.

51k on a 2012? Seems like a lot for a Raptor of that year. I'd keep your truck for sure.
