Well I am about to put my truck on autotrader soon. How much would you buy this for? 06 regular cab, v6, manual tranny, 27,000miles, 40 series flowmaster cat back, sweet 20s(almost 4 grand total), side steps, soft top cover, billet grille.... little more extras

it's worth about $500, tops. but i'll tell you what, i'll give you a whole $1000 for the truck...and pick it up tomorrow.


and, in case you didn't buy my pitch, here's my advice:
go to kbb.com, and get the blue book for it, and just add all your mods directly to that..

kbb+step bar+exhaust+tonneau+this+that, etc, etc.

^but just cause you spent like $5k on mods, you can't necesarrily expect to get that all back. so, you may be better off taking some of the bolt on's off and selling them seperately....cause in my opinion, i'd assume people are out looking for a car, for as cheap as they can get it...and once they eat up that cost, then they look into mods. in other words, someone spending $15k on a truck, might not see the extra $200 for mopar steps a viable option, whereas someone who is looking for steps, may see $200 for those steps completely viable.

soo...yea...give me your grill...

I am selling the truck because I am getting a 4x4 diesel soon.

I have been looking at kbb and it said my truck is about $17k.
I wanted to see what you guys thought though!!

Does everybody agree I should post it for about $17500?
All the cool parts are staying on the truck but the stereo and toolbox... I have no use for anything else on a diesel

if kbb says it's worth about 17k, then an extra 500 for that ****load of mods is a pretty sweet deal...but again, u really ahve no choice...cause a used truck going for much more than that people won't even include in their shopping...knowwuttimean?

Well, i dont know much about prices in your location, but..what i do know.

My uncle owns a dealership, and ive dealt with it alot. I put mods on too, but. They dont do **** for hte value or your ride. if its worth 17k then sell it for that. Not saying you are doing this, BUT keep it in mind. Dont expect to get anything for the 20's, systems, etc. I know alot of guys around here have a truck that books at 20, then want 24 cause its got. " a lift, wheels, stereo" ...sorry doesn't really matter.

well the grille inserts help the truck stand out... and if i take them off there going onto my new truck sorry..

The wheels have to stay on that truck.. the running bars might as well stay on cus i cant use them on a quadcab! The stereo stuff I am keeping.
So really the only thing staying on that truck is the running bars, rims, and the grille(maybe)

So is $17500 reasonable for yall?? I want this truck to sell in about a month or so, so I want to price it right! Yet I am paying for my next truck and only being 17 I need all the money i can get.
