Hey fellas , I've been thinking (painfully) about selling my 7.3. I see pricing a over the place. Anyone have some way of looking at the value besides kbb oe nada?
It depends on so many variables. Rust belt, mods, condition etc, then where you advertise it. Western truck in the rust belt would be worth more than the opposite. Since you didn't give any specifics on your truck it's impossible to give you reasonable numbers.
2002 Larait. 291k miles
bad...Seats need new covers on the seat bottoms, door ajar light wont go out, small rust at rear wheel wells.
good... maintained well, new wheels/tires, lifted, some mods, truck cap, front and rear hitch, fairly new injectors, runs and drives excellent..
The 7.3L still seems to command more than its published value. I would check around your area and see what some are listing for in similar shape.
I still see them around me for sale for crazy money. A quick Autotrader search turned up a 2001 with 205K miles listing for $20K.
It does seem crazy. I should probably sell mine and buy a newer lower-miles gas truck. The diesel seems to carry a $5,000 premium, as does anything King Ranch.
It's almost definitely worth every bit of $500, I'll offer double just to help you out.
My rough guess is it would get $10k around here pretty easily. The few good running ones I've seen advertised for under $5k are scams or are sold within a couple hours. The people asking $20k for an average one are going to be renewing their ad for a while.
I saw an ultra clean low mile one a while back advertised at $5k, I 'knew' it had to be a scam, but called anyway. It was an older guy who bought it as his toy just because he liked it. He'd decided to move on to something smaller and nobody in the family wanted it so he put it up for sale. "It's over 10 years old, it's got almost 100K miles, it's a noisy stinky diesel with a manual transmission, I priced it low figuring nobody's gonna want it unless it's cheap." I happened to see the ad within a couple hours of his posting it and when I called there were already 2 people at his house fighting to buy it and more on the way.
