hard to sell
I need some help with this one,my expedition is a 03 model xlt loaded with allwheel drive excelent condition,only down fall is 97,000 miles.I have had it for sell for about two months and nobody will even look at it. My friend at the ford delership said its becouse every one wants to trade in.Am I asking too much for it? it is in the classifieds on FTE

The blue book in excellent condition is $12,630. Looking at your pics you need to detail that baby some more. The lower plastic trim needs attention. And in this market, no one is paying blue book. Just my advice.

I would post a message on this board about how to revive the bottom trim.

With a pic posted. These guys are good.
Also, why are you selling it? Just curious. Do you owe on it still?

you say the fun factor has worn off but if you did sell it you would miss it,cant blame you for driving the beater. i would love to have that set up in my 150 but my wife would kill me if i started another project.

i typically find bb prices to be way too high. and expys have been selling for cheap for a while now.
where are you advertising?
when i sell a vehicle, i place an ad in craigslist (free, but you have to update every week), cars.com, various forums, and autotrader.com.
i typically drop the price every week or two till it sells.

It definetely is a tough time to sell these things. 
BUT..., it is a GREAT time to buy. 
I did both during the past two weeks: sold my 00 Expedition EB and bought an 04 EB.
Selling the 00 was a pain, but finally a guy who really wanted it showed up. Sold it for $8K, which I think was pretty good price for it (w/130K+ miles). Took me almost a year of advertising it on AutoTrader, Craigslist and elsewhere online.
Sure, I could've sold it several times already earlier if i would've sold it for $5K, but since I wasn't in a hurry, I didn't do it. All these guys were those who offered it without ever even seeing it, anyway.
Then, a week after selling, I bought the current 04 from a dealer for $14K w/TT&L included. It has under 80K miles, is fully loaded (except for navi and LLS, both of which I don't need) and is in great condition. At least around here it was a pretty good deal.
Good luck with your sale, OP.
