Real world pricing thread
There seems to be plenty of discussion on what these trucks are selling for. And it also seems that KBB and other valuation services are off by many thousands of dollars from real world prices. It would be good to put this discussion in a single thread for convenient reference.
Please post in this thread what you've paid for your RECENT Excursion purchase. RECENT means second half of 2008 and beyond. Please DON'T clutter the thread with your older purchases, since prices have fallen dramatically over the summer and show no signs of recovery.
Use the following format:
Price paid
Date of purchase
Year/Engine/Trim/Drive
Mileage
Dealer or Private Sale
General location
Any comments
Example only:
$15,000
November 1, 2008
2004 7.3L Eddie Bauer 4x4
60,000 miles
Dealer
Central OH
Truck had 4" lift

I figure, even though it's not an Excursion, the info on my recent F250 purchase is relevant since the Ex and the SuperDuty trucks are so closely linked.
KBB retail value: $18,625
KBB wholesale value: $13,600
Purchase price: $9,907
Date purchased: 11-16-08
2002/7.3L PSD/Super Cab Lariat/4x2
Odometer: 95867
Dealership purchase
Buellton, CA (SoCal, just north of Santa Barbara)
Comments: The truck was in like-new condition. Perfect interior, no wear marks on the leather, and no exterior dents or dings. No noticeable scratches in the paint either.
The truck came with a B&W gooseneck hitch installed, and already had a 4" turbo back exhaust and AFE Stage 1 intake bolted on. The bed also came with a Line-X spray on bed liner.

Location is HUGE when buying used cars. Big cities and towns near them regularly pull a couple grand extra for used vehicles. Theres a reason I drove from chicago to the middle of ohio, and the middle of colorado to buy my last two vehicles. Saved 2-4G's on those purchases.

If I had a truck valued at $20000 I sure and hell wouldn't sell it for $14000. Must be a lot of flood vehicles out there that people "THINK" they are getting a good deal on. Please tell me how great the truck is in a couple months after you fix all the problems that have yet to surface.
The reality is not how great of a deal you got but, how bad did I get screwed. Only time will tell.
Call your local salvage yard and ask the cost of a used engine or trans. Then you'll quickly see how great the deal was. Most of those low priced trucks are worth more for parts. Wonder Why????

I paid 11K for my Excursion and I think for the mileage and superb condition of the truck, I did extremely well.
If people can afford to hang on to their trucks until the market rebounds then good for them. With diesel fuel dropping as low as it is and trucks still aren't selling, that's just reassures me that the economy is scaring the hell out of people right now and they're not spending.
**If you're talking about FordTruckGirl's post, the 20K is KBB, not neccessarily what the truck is worth. That's what this thread is all about.
