The truck in my sig. Its got 173K on the meter! Body and paint is almost as good as new w/ absolutely NO rust! I was just thinking about selling it but had no idea what its worth? You guys tell me?

 

Check nada.com or kbb.com Get the book value

 

W series, 5spd trucks are probably the most sought after, plus your is a club cab, so it is very valuable to the right person. One thing that some people might not like is the 4.10 gears, but if someone looking for a tow rig sees it then you are in godd shape. If it was my truck, I would put it a 7.5K and negotiate from there. Get some pics of it, and we'll be able to tell you more.

Do you want to trade for a '91.5 2wd auto...?

 

where are you located? and pics would be nice! i have a bunch of freidns willing to pay about 6 for 1 like that. we can really judge value from the pics and location!

 

I'd say start at $8-9000, and work down a grand or so. That is about the most sought after version of all of them (3.54s would put you over the top). If it has all the original paint, and it is still in great shape, I'd say it might go for a little more.

It also depends on how fast you want to move it. If you're in a hurry, you may have to take 6-7, but that's about as low as I'd go.

What kind of fuel mileage do you get? What has it been used for? Towing/ hauling, grocery getter?

 

7,000$$$ ,

4.10 gears
being a 4x4 dually clubcab helps and is it a LE truck? just post it in the classifieds on here. and see if you get any interest

 

I'm in Northern Mississippi! The only thing I have ever towed with it is hay! If I keep it around 65 on the interstate I get about 540 miles to a tank of fuel! I'll try and get you some pics! Its the LE package with captains chairs! Thanks guys

 

Ok, from kbb.com using retail values for western PA and not using the NADA dealer values:

Trade in: $3000 - 3500
Pvt party: $4500 - 4900

Now, just for giggles, contact your local financial institution and tell them you found this same truck for sale from an individual seller for $5500. Ask them how much of a loan they will provide to you. I don't know what it is these day but a few years ago it was around 75% of the trade in value.

I'm not trying to slam what you guys are saying. The problem is money is tight these days. It's not like it was even a year ago. When the supply of available money goes down the demand for specialty items like our trucks diminishes.

 

Yeah I don't know what 92roughstock is smoking or where he's been the past year or so. $8k, give me break. Just a year or so ago, that truck may have been worth $8k, but now it's more like a $4k-$5k truck tops. A $5k truck might bring in $3k if you're lucky.

Then again there's always ebay and plenty of unintelligent buyers.

 

This exact truck rust free and dent free went for 9,000 on ebay about a montha go.

 

Question is, did the seller collect?

 

If you don't need to sell it, I would say 7.5K firm, if you wait long enough, I'd be willing to bet someone would bite...

 

The Five Rules of Worth

Rule #1: If the bank says its worth X, its worth X times 1.3 to 1.5.
Rule #2: If the IRS says its worth Y, its worth Y times 10 if the worth is determined for the purposes of a deduction and Y times 0.1 to 0.5 if worth was determined for purpose of levying a tax.
Rule #3: If NADA/KBB says its worth Z, then its really worth Z times 0.2 to 10.
Rule #4: Things are worth only what someone is willing to pay AND what someone is willing to sell for.
Rule #5: If rules one through four are ever incorrect, re-read them because they are NEVER wrong.

If someone is not willing to pay what something is worth and you arent in desperate need of money, tell them to go fly a kite and push it back in the garage. Under no circumstances allow yourself to be convinced into selling something for less than what its worth just because the buyer shows up with some printout from some so-called expert who is likely first a moron with no clue as to what things are really worth and second has never seen your item.

 

Well Said!!

 

Ok, I'm sort of playing devils advocate on this so don't take it personal.
In respect to the ongoing and never settled argument on fair market value verses the term worth and also in regard to our current world wide financial situation, would someone please explain why a similar truck listed right here in the classifieds section has not been instantly grabbed up by someone? It's listed for thousands of dollars less than almost everyone thinks it's worth and falls within a few hundred dollars KBB.COM's value guide? And please don't reply with the right person just hasn't come along.
The truck I'm referring to in our classifieds section and definitely not mine:

Since 1965 I have had many friends who are in the used car business. I've learned all about how they juggle numbers on trade ins along with what it takes to have a vehicle that either sells on the lot or one that turns into a lot ornament. One friend buys & sells nothing but Dodge Cummins 4WD's. Normally his inventory is completely different within a two month period. It's very rare for him to have a truck for more than two months. This year he had trouble in moving a 98 2500 Cummins flatbed 200K miles at $3500. I was tempted by an 01 3500 dually 175K miles with a reman injection pump for $7500. These were the RETAIL prices four months ago. He sold both trucks. My neighbor bought the 01 and uses it daily in his business operations. My point is that the economy has taken a big whack out of value and worth. And yes, you can keep pushing it in and out of your garage for a few years and you will get your asking price after inflation eats away at the dollar. That's another factor that completely gets overlooked.
