I would have ZERO issue if they gave $6500 on a trade, then sold it for 8-9K. But the fact is they will put it on the lot for 13-15 and sell it for 11-13. That I have a HUGE issue with. I am not picking on the dealer I am posting here, they are my dealer and treat me well for the most part. But take a look at what they are asking. There is very little difference at any dealereship through out town. Skip to page 3 I think, maybe 4.

I will also be selling my Hemi out right when the time comes and it will be a fair price for me and the buyer, that is unless something strange happens at the dealership.

A buddy of mine is a wholesaler and they made an announcement at Manheim on Thursday that diesel trucks are not worth any more than gas trucks as far as they are concerned now. So a bunch of dealers are getting beat up even for diesel trucks!!
I heard that. A good friend of mine has a 2006 Ford F350 FX4 Diesel it's NADA value is $36,000 to sell and $32,000 to trade. H eactually went down to the Honda dealership in Houston to trade it in on an Accord and the dealership literally would not trade for it. Amazing! He said he would sell it for $26,000 just to break even on it and even "truck" dealships only offered him $22,000 for it!

Sorry i did not repond earlier i had internet issues.
Superchips has offers but if they dont come through it will be available for other buyers send me a PM.
Mirrors has an offer but if buyer does not jump on it then it will be available.

Tonneu is a truxedo low profile i guarantee great condition and it will not block bed rails, I dont really have pics but it would be a pain to ship this and expensive for you guys. You would still save $ so if your really interested i will get you some pics. Im Miami,FL your welcomed to come take a look.

Forgot to mention i have seat covers for a whole quad cab truck. Make an offer and they are yours. (no stains, no rips)

this is retarded! I would have given you 15 for it if I hadn't just bought one a few months ago.

don't sell to dealers, they are taking every bit of advantage they can get off of people selling bigger vehicles right now. that dealer is going to sell you truck for about 15-18k, count on it. damn blooksuckers.
someone could have given you 13 and both of you would have been better off.

Anyway kbb says $13k (what i owe) and Carmax offered me $6500 because gas prices are slowing down sales of big cars, also dodge new super incentive package makes anyone in the market just buy it new...
Man, thats crazy. April of last year, I managed to get $6500 on trade in for my 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 with 97,000 miles.



On the flip side, I don't think I got as good a deal as I could have for my new truck.
