I don't think he "wanted" to.....he is expecting another little one and was upgrading the wife's vehicle. Somehow he got screwed over and they wouldn't take the Durango in on a trade in so he had to part with the F150.
"Traded my truck in today. 2 weeks back I was pre-approved from Ford for up to $53,000 purchase.
So I found me an 08 Expy and ditched my Dodge...happiness ensued, the people were happy.
Then Friday, I get a call saying Ford has turned down my loan...even though they had previously said yes...just pick the vehicle.
So after alot of negotiating, and my credit getting raped by the Dealership (thanks alot *******s), they said just bring the Expy back and get your Dodge back.
Sounds like a stupid thing...but for those with kids, I hope y'all understand if nobody else does. The Durango, and the F-150 just aren't big enough. The Expy is damn near perfect. "

Some arguing occured, and it finally came out what really happened.
I was about $3,000 upside down on the Durango. Ford was unwilling to roll this over...even though I was well under the $53,000 ceiling.
So I offered up my F-150 as a trade-in. I was about $3,000 upside down on the Durango. Ford was unwilling to roll this over...even though I was well under the $53,000 ceiling.
KBB said $20,000 in excellent condition for trade-in...and $27,000 for purchase retail.
So I figured anything over $19,000 and I'd go for it.
Dealership gave me $22,000 for the truck on trade-in.
it was a 2006 Supercrew FX4 with Luxury Package (aka Lariat rebadged)
-Roushcharged
- Leveling Kit
-Very Shiny

They knew I had a F-150...but I don't think they realized what I actually had.
As soon as I drove it on the lot, you could see the dollar signs in their eyes. Pretty much slobbering at the bit to sell my truck...which btw, there wasn't a nice used F-150 to be found. Nothing but 09's on their lot, or beat up POS trucks.
And then they found out about the RoushCharger...couldn't get me into the Finance Office quickly enough.
I'm very bummed about the truck being gone...but family stuff comes first. I'm gonna try and pay the Durango off early and work my way into a 07-08 F-150 in about 1.5 yrs...unless I can get a good deal on a 09+ F-150.As soon as I drove it on the lot, you could see the dollar signs in their eyes.

yeah, the truck going away wasn't exactly my idea...but it had to be done
I worked out an arrangement with wife for me to buy a new/used F250 Harley D. in the fall of next year...but we'll see. Seems like this Expy is going to be passed down to me though
besides, can't really argue with somebody giving you $22,000 for a 3yr old truck. I ended up losing about $1,000 overall...not terribly happy about that. But I'll get over it

Gone...I went back 5 days later and it was nowhere on the lot. I was wanting to see the $$$ markup
so I'm guessing it was a very quick sell for them. And we don't have a Auction setup around here like on the mainland. so...she's gone

My 03 Mustang SVT sold for cash and was done before I'd finished the paperwork for my 08 F150. I wish I carried around 35k in cash....

That's how I got my truck.... I was at the dealership and the guy that owned my truck previously was going to trade it in for an F350....quite the jump I thought...then settled out of the dealership after their ridiculous offer...
