I would just like to add that one thing that makes this situation very difficult is that there is a huge discrepancy in X selling prices. I look at CL on a daily basis for Excursions, I like to know what is happening, and I am always looking for a good deal. I can tell you first hand that the wave of different prices is really enough to make anyone's head spin.

I mean this morning I saw this-
2004 Diesel 209k 2WD $5900.

Then you see-
2000 7.3 Diesel 124k 4x4 with 40+ pictures, and is immaculate, for $21k

Or-
2002 7.3 Diesel 175k 4x4 $14k

It could easily make anyone's head spin....

I mean fine it's a 2WD and I have 0 interest in it, although I have a complete 4x4 system and titled frame sitting here so I wonder how hard it would be to get it to be a 4x4?? Anyway back on topic, people see that ad and they think Excursion diesel $6k. That's how it happens so when they see a good one for $15k they don't get the difference, and sometimes it takes time. I think that makes the largest of the issues on value.

You are correct, there are many variables, models/equipment, diesel/gas, 4x4 etc. The milage can be confusing to people. Obviously a 7.3 with 175K is worth much more than a similar gasser with the same milage. You have to compare apples to apples. When I bought mine I knew exactly what I wanted, 2005 6.0 Limited 4x4. Made it much easier to shop!

We kind of pride ourselves for having less drama around these parts compared to other forums on the 'net.

That doesn't mean we don't have the occasional dust-ups now and then!

We like keeping people here for the long-haul. Stick around for awhile and you'll see VA is one of the good guys.

BTW, the next time I come up to Folsom to visit my brother we'll have to meet up for lunch or something.
