Found a 1997 F350 Crew cab, auto, 4wd XLT for sale with 130k on it. Interior looks perfect exterior has small scratches here and there but no rust or anything like that. This is the cleanest '97 I've even seen.

I drove it...no hesitation or slipping. (BTW I have a F250 1995 PSD supercab) so I have an idea of how these run. Looking to go bigger as I have a F250 with a 9.5ft Eagle Cab camper and run an extended hitch pulling a flatbed with my Jeep on it. Even with airbags its pretty overloaded. I would be swapping my superhitch and camper tie downs to the new truck. 4 full doors and seats woulkd be a plus as I would be taking my girl and two kids around with me.

Gonna have my friend (a Ford Diesel tech) take a look at it tomorrow. The carfax on it is clean. Not like that matters too much.


Anyway they want $13,900 for this truck. Must have a gold plated engine in it. I told them they'd never get that unless it was a 1999-03 Lariat with that miledge.

They said they are willing to deal. All the appraisals I could run show perfect condition values for this truck at 9700 through 11,200. For a perfect truck.


Anyone have an idea what my 1995 PSD extended cab 4wd might be worth with 236000 miles? Its red and silver with some small dents but looks good inside and out for the most part and runs just fine. The dealer is interested in my trade but I may sell outright as I want to swap stuff to the '97.

 

13,900 seems a little much to me if its bone stock. miles are low ide say $10k. however ive seen a lot of them with that low mileage sell for around what there asking. your truck probably 4-6k. i payed 6k for my 97 with 240k miles on it and its been in new mexico its whole life(I.E. not rust anywhere)

12,900 dollars back the first of this year

 

A clean 97 like that is worth close to what they are asking. That being said, it needs to be very nice to be worth that; not perfect, but very very nice!

My Dad sold this truck for $12,500 (97 F-250 CC XLT 4x4 AT 96,000 miles)

 

Price seems about right anymore. The re-sale value of these trucks is constant if not trending upward.

Mods/after market parts do not really make a difference on what the vehicles price is going to be.

It really depends on where you live. In my area these trucks are not on the lot for more than a day. Ask someone about getting one and they laugh at you.

 

If you look at the rear picture, you can see the worst place on the truck about 1/2 way back the rear panel just above the body line.

Looks like a car door/parking lot damage very small dent.

I still wound up replacing the rear brake drums, shoes and E brake cables after I figured out they were not releasing.
I also had to replace the thermostat so the engine temp would get above 100 degrees last winter.

So even low mileage is no guarantee of no problems.

 

Well I bought it for 12,500.






Got 4300 for my truck and put some money down leaving a small loan which I can pay off next year.

It's exactly what I wanted. Low miles, stock everything, only minor scratches outside and the interior is in excellent shape.

 

very nice looking truck. I love the color combination.

 

good looking truck

 

That's my trucks twin except it's a 96. I got it in 2001 w/ 110Kmiles, paid 12K out the door. More proof these trucks are going up in value.

 

I just got the Superhitch and the camper tie downs swapped over to this truck from the 250 that I traded in.

Anyone know how I can figure out what kind of gears? Theres a tag on the diff but its faded.

I want this truck to last me a very long time, with maybe some intake, exhaust, gauges, and possibly mild tunes and some tranny upgrades.

 

How many rpm's you running at 65? These are approximate numbers but at 65 with 3.55's mine is running +-1700 rpm. 4.10's would be about 2200. At 75 mines at just over 2000 rpms also

 

I think 65 mph is 2200 rpm and 70 mph is 2500 rpm.
That is with a 5 speed.

 

WOW! That is really nice... Hoping I can find one similar...

 

With these stock size 235x85R16's I'm doing around 2200. Guess the truck is a 4.10. I'll keep the tires for a while, but how big could I go without lifting the truck?
