Is this a good deal??
 

Hey everybody,

So I found a truck and I want your opinions on if it's a good deal or not!

It's a black 2007 F150 FX4 SuperCrew with 76000 miles. It has:
- black leather with center console
- power everything
- power drivers seat
- sunroof
- double din Pioneer with sub wiring
- 33 inch Nitto Terras with 20 inch Rockstars
- tinted windows
- 1 inch rear shackle lift and 1.5 inch front leveling kit
- custom exhaust

The guy wants $17000 for it...Is it a good deal??

I wouldn't say so no. Seems pretty high for me... I just paid $10,500 for a nice low mile 07 XLT with everything you listed minus leather. Installed my own lift and put rims and tires on it I already had and did the exhaust and I'm still not close to 17000.

What he said.

If I were to give him an offer, what should it be?

Where are you located??? Big thing to check before giving an honest estimate is cab corners and wheels wells for rust.

Its high, but really that over the top. I would say offer him $15k and see what happens. If its clean has had plugs done, and had all the up to date maintenance seems like a good starting point.

Is this a good deal??

Just so you can compare. I know different regions bring very different prices. As you can see this one is in Boise Idaho and just a extended cab.

But to your original question if say 15k is fair. Guy has to understand that you really never get back the full amount for mods.

I bought my 06 in 08 with 16k miles for 26k (I was a lot younger at the time when I presented 9k cash) but anyways I think the OP is right, 15k offer or less. I know now how to talk ppl down but do you ?

Sometimes, you can't.

Ask him if he's flexible on his price and if he's not, move on. You could buy a stock truck and do exactly what's been done to his for that price most likely. I know I did and I got a 6 inch suspension, new wheels and tires. I'm still quite a bit less in then he is.

My 08 SCAB FX4 has 68K miles and a clean retail of over $20K not including all the extras... so I think it's in the ballpark.
