Nice rig!!! I have it's twin in a 98 model. I would think it's worth an easy 20 on this board, but in the mini-nickel you will get hosed at about $13k where I live. These new gens are starting to get cheap, and that hurts nice rigs like yours.

Price to ask: a few hundred over private party value good condition on KBB.com.
Price to take: Halfway between private party and trade in good condition on KBB.com.

In the prices include the mods divided by 2.

Don't include any maintinance items or tires in the mods figure.

That's what it should for to the right buyer if you want to wait for him or her.

Otherwise take trade in value from first person that offers. If you need to get rid of it fast take between trade in and wholesale. If you need to get rid of it today go to a dealer and sell it wholesale value.

In your ad in autotrader put PRIVATE SELLER NO GIMMICKS, NO TIRE KICKERS PLEASE, $PRICE CASH.

Under no circumstances meet anyone at their place of choosing or drive more than a few miles to meet them. Don't have them come to your house though... If they are serious about your truck they'll drive to come see it, if not they'll want you to come to them. Hang up on these people.

Good luck... Make sure your title is in hand. If you just paid it off it could get lost in the mail like mine did.

Thanks guys, im starting to need more room with my 2 girls and was thinkin of going to a cough cough gasser anyways the local Nissan dealership has a few guys into diesels and while me and the wife were there today haggling over a 2005 Armada the owner asked how much I wanted, I said give me $15,000 and a sweet deal on a 2005 Titan and we could talk, well he gave me a sweet price on the Titan and I gotta admit its a nice rig, its no Cummins but still nice, however I just didnt have it in me to do it, I gotta wiegh the pros and the cons, everything that coulda broke on my truck has either been upgraded with better than stock parts, or replaced with factory stuff, the truck has been nothing but a dream since day one, however I cant stop myself from buying stuff for it im headed down the road of no return fast, ported head, o-rings, twins, nitrous, this forum is very very bad for use guys that have the dieselites disease, I also must mention I have absolutely nothing to tow and just drive my truck for the pure enjoyment of letting 500hp loose on a dailey basis and still get 17 mpg .

Nothing wrong with a gasser...

Different folks, different strokes.

Glad I don't have kids yet.

observation of the truth

It is worth no more than market value, everything else is gravy.

I like how you look at things , but after a nights worth of thinking I figured the Titan will cost more to operate based on fuel alone, I crush the mileage that those things are getting, and I occasionally run free fuel (veg oil) so what im gonna do is try to find a older Volvo wagon to use on my short trips, I think it was just the allure of a shiny new truck that had me.

Haha "leave you and you(r) Black Beauty alone?"
hahahaha that his hilarious!

Nice lookn rig!
I deffintly love the wheels on it.
I'd say 15+ to the right person!

I'd suggest why not purchasing a used 4cyl or 6cyl, minivan, sedan, ect?
Unless you don't work your truck, or it is really of no benefit for you to keep it.

That truck here in Canada easy $23.000 to $25.000. Trucks up here arent cheap even the junky ones. I have been importing dodges ctd for two years and have made a small fortune in doing so. I average $5.000 to $10.000 on the trucks I bring up, I sell about three to four a month. If you were closer to the west coast I would give 15 cash easy, and would keep the truck for myself.

I've re-imported two diesels from Alberta, and given the dollar trade offs, I got better deals on 12V units than I ever could from a local dealer.
