I got my '05 STX SCAB 4.6L 4X4, 60K miles, last November. I got it for 30% less than where the dealer started. I got 4 times what they initially wanted to give me for my trade, a '96 Explorer with 125K miles. The salesman said they really wanted to move the used inventory, especially the ones could not be financed readily. I ended up paying 13,000 plus the Exp. and I think the book on it at that time was around $18K.

If yours don't have leather, I would swap out the interiors and anything else you would want from the repo and then when you sell it, you will have a free upgraded interior and have made money... not a bad deal.
the leather seat is probably power, i know mine is... so you could gain power seats as well.

My personal truck has power cloth seats in it.I wanted to do the swap and that already entered my mind but the issue I have is my (red) truck has the 40/20/40 with column shift and the other truck has buckets and console with floor shift.I know I can swap columns and seats and everything but it looks like the center section of the dash is slightly different as well.I am not scared of doing the work as I am fully capable of performing this swap but bottom line is the wife don't want the leather and it would be quite involved to do the swap.I am not done fighting the battle with her yet but if someones knocking with the cash.It's out the door. I am however going to swap my single cd/tape factory radio for the other ones 6 disc in dash radio.I will try to get some pics up tomorrow.Long day and I don't feel like fighting with Kodak Easyshare tonight.

I think price also deals where you are located. I got my 05 King Ranch Screw with 57k miles. 5.4 auto with 4x4. After TN taxes it ended up costing me 16k.
Clean title, good paint and leather. Checked out good at the dealer. O. And had brand new Michelin tires on it.

personally, I would sell your other one and keep the new one you just bought. It has the options you like anyway... such as leather etc... I also prefer the dark gray too. Thats a nice truck. A nice leveling lift and a set of chrome rims on 35" and that will be one bad ***** looking truck.

Thanks for the compliments.The thought crossed my mind to sell the red one for a brief second but I decided against it.Yes the gray one has the options I want but the red one has a bunch of extras that the gray one does not.The gray to me is just blah.Not a bad color but it just blends in too much.My red truck has the leveling kit already,Edge programmer,Headers and exhaust is done already.My wife sees this as a daily driver and it does not need to be all pimped out.My red truck is already done for the most part.I am not P.W.'d but I choose my battles wisely.So if I sold red I don't think the gray one would get the leveling kit,wheels,tires, etc,etc. I put my foot down when it comes to my Mustangs.Those get the money thrown at them.
