I AM STATIONED IN NORTH DAKOTA.........now wheres my crying emoji.....lol

 

lol. There is no way i could do that. I would retire if my orders were to there! I HATE cold. Im at Seymour Johnson right now. Even that is to cold for me. We want to retire to Florida or Vegas (spent 3 years at Nellis).

 

Nice, I'm on my 15th yr. Trying to get to Utah..or Florida. Than retire in the hills of Tennessee! Been to way to many red flags to care for Vegas....

 

Quick word of advice, don't take the truck to Guam. The fuel quality is junk and it's not ULSD and DEF doesn't exist. Not to mention there is limited dealer support and your new vehicle warranty doesn't apply. Last I was in Guam only dealership was Triple J and it was a ford dealer for the Asia Pacific and Africa region. Only active duty military that purchased vehicles through export are eligible for out of country warranty coverage.

 

That's a bummer man. I would definitely put it back up for sale, start with your base lot, then Craigslist. Usually your there's bulletin boards at your work in Outlook you can use.

You have a truck many want, and even though some may try to lowball you, you might still be better off eating a few bucks to sell it while it's still in good shape.

I wouldn't haul that thing to Guam. And I wouldn't let it sit until you have a climate controlled garage and you pull the batteries.

 

That right there would seal the deal for me. I was also going to say that driving a big truck in non-American roadways could be kind of stressful due to narrow roads. But that Armada isn't exactly a small vehicle either. (Great vehicle that Armada, I had a Titan for 10 years)

Any chance you have a family member you trust that could be the caretaker? If not, I would sell it for what you can get. Once it's gone, your stress level goes to zero, not to mention insurance.

Just an idea but I have a friend that is an auto broker. Whenever I want a specific vehicle I give him a call and he finds it for me. Used or new. Maybe someone like that is around your area that could find a buyer. At the very least, I would go to a CarMax place and the dealership to see what they'll give you. My dealership was kind of worthless. They drove my truck, looked it over and all they did was print out the KBB page listing what they would give. I ended up selling it privately for $2,100 more.

 

A nationwide search on Autotrader shows 5 trucks listed under $58,000 with under 15K miles. A total of 57 are listed. Mostly dealers on there, but if you have time to sell, I think you can get most of that back. Put it up on there at 58 and see what happens. Write a nice ad with as many pictures as you are allowed. Mention why you are selling, and I bet it will go.

My son is 11 yrs in the Air Force, he just got sent to England last spring. I understand your dilemma, thanks for putting up with it on our behalf.

 

I loved Vegas! Love the heat. I would love to retire in Florida, actually just got back from Tyndall recovery.

We lived there 4 years, this was a concern of mine as well.


The roads arent to narrow, but they are pot hole ridden!! We love the Armada. I have always been a sports car guy. Bunch of imports, BMWs, and the such. We got the Armada a year and a half ago after moving back from Korea. I actually enjoyed driving it until I picked up my BMW. And then my truck. I will lookf or a broker, not really sure even how to look for that.

Wow, I wasn't expecting prices that high. Hmmmm. I guess I could put it up now. The Armada can pull our Camper (have to sell that as well and its only 1.5 years old).

Our options were England or Guam. I put England as #1, Guam #2. Would rather have England. Lived in germany and Italy already. I will say, its an ok dilemma to have. We love traveling.

 

Not sure what your timeline is for the PCS, but I would definitely attempt to sell it. You may want to consider the POV resale lot on Bragg. Significantly bigger market/population than Seymour Johnson. Have you considered giving a family member or friend a specified POA in order to sell the truck if you are unable to get the price you want prior to the move?

 

You do realize that Guam is really, I mean really, a small island....like 10 x 20 miles. The cost of fuel is pretty irrelevant if you can't drive very far. A full tank of fuel could last you weeks, if not a month or more.

Personally, I'd sell the truck and not bother with taking it Guam. Get a Guam hooptie and sell that vehicle to the next family that PCS's in. Buy a new truck when you get back.

 

Thank you for your Service!!! I'd sell it and invest the funds or as Jim suggested, if you possibly have a friend or family member that you could leave it with (garaged) who would care for it properly.

 

Thank u for your service!

I just traded in close to the same speced truck only got $49,700. I had 34,000 miles though and needed a new tailgate due to damage. Hope that helps with value searching. Surely its a $54k truck

 

Try Carvana. My recent experience was that Cramax offered me $4500k, dealer offered me $5800 and Carvana gave me $7000.

Thanks for your service.

Im English and I would have definitely opted for Guam if I had a choice!

 

You're going to Guam? I'm thinking that a Superduty might push that island to the "tipping point". You really need to be more responsible with this.
