Need a real idea of truck's worth

All right y'all

I am thinking of selling my baby for a new truck

I know that trade in value isn't accurate for the 7.3's

I have a 96 f250 7.3. It has 130,000 miles

Single cab. Body is in good shape. Paint is faded but she still runs great

I have had it since new. And it has been well maintained


Interested in what the street value would be?

Thanks a bunch

Any pictures. Auto or 5spd. Color tire condition. Alot of factors that can honestly affect the price.

Thanks bad jr

It is an automatic. It is the truck in my signature. The tires are relatively new. Maybe 10,000 miles on them

Looks like its an XL though.
Not an XLT?

That makes a big difference.

2wd? 4wd?

All that detail stuff makes a difference.
Modifications do not though.

96 with low miles is usually 7k, but if its a 2wd xl, I'd say 6to6500.

Thanks guys

The blue book is 4000 and I can't part with it for that. It is 4wd and still runs and tows great. Just need something that I know will be reliable as my wife drives it regularly pullin a two horse gooseneck

Not sure I will get used to the quietness of a new truck as my straight pipe really let the turbo be heard


As my friend says. She still runs like a raped ape.

Appreciate the responses.

add 1k for 4x4.

So. you can probably get 6500-7500 for it.

FWIW These trucks are plenty reliable, since yours has only 130K on it and you are the orig. owner you already know how it was maintained. These trucks are known to go well past 300K even past 400K
