Or maybe the "2" was meant to be a "1"?

Not as much as you'd think. The guy figures he paid ~$50k for it, it's 5 years old and probably well maintained, 50% depriciation is to be expected. He probably hasn't checked the price of other vehicles in this class, and without doing that, you really aren't that far off the ball here.
Will he get that price? Probably not. However I was just at the dealer a months ago, and there were 04's in the 20-24k price range.

Some others from the Detroit area Craigslist, for comparison:
2005 XLT 4x4
2003 Limited 4x4 Powerstroke
2004 Limited 4x4 Powerstroke
I just find it amazing that people can't (or won't) do a simple search on comparable vehicles / stuff before they post it for sale.

That truck has been at that dealership for at least a month, maybe two. They throw a new ad on Craigslist every few weeks.

Ahh, that explains things well. The dealership hopes to start off high ball, give the customer a $5,000 to $7,000 discount,
and still make $5,000 more than the truck is worth! And some stupid customer will still think they got a good deal!
