Nice truck! There's got to be a ceiling somewhere on 6.0 prices and it looks like we're fixin' to find-out...stay with us and let us know how this turns out for you. Good luck!

While I wouldn’t, somebody will pay it. It’s amazing to see the people who try and make a buck off of unknowing, innocent people in such a market. Sell that truck for what you’re asking. If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. Hopefully, you’re ok with trying to rip someone off. And thanks for using our forum as Craigslist.

@6LiterTeter, thanks for your comment. A couple thoughts in response...

1) The asking price is always negotiable.
2) We have a very unique shift in the supply and demand curve. New trucks are tough to get a hold of (took 13 months to get my '22 F350). People still need trucks which, of course is driving up the price of used trucks.
3) While you might not be in the market to purchase my truck, another member might see this truck for what it is...a bit of a unicorn 6.0. 57k miles, only 2 owners, known and well documented maintenance history, all the expensive work done to mitigate known issues with the 6.0, and some desirable performance upgrades.
4) I believe the buyer of this truck will be very well educated in the 6.0 platform and not unknowing and "innocent".
5) This ad is posted in the "For Sale" section...isn't this is correct place to post a truck for sale?

@ZMANN said it best… “Merica”. Dude, I want you to get what you want. Really. But, there’s gotta be a cap. There’s gotta be a point at which we all say nuff is enuff. You’re not a contributing member. You popped up randomly to sell a truck for way more than it is worth. I don’t think a whole lot of people here will pay even close to what you’re asking.

So, why don’t you take to Facebook or Craigslist to rip someone off? It’s America man, go for it.

@6LiterTeter, I respect your comments. Prices are determined by what the market will bear. Posting on this site is marketing to folks educated in the 6.0 platform. The truck is listed locally as well.

@6LiterTeter, now you've peaked my interest. What do you think would be the fair market price for my truck?

 

[TooManyToys]

A vehicle is only worth what the insurance company will give you when it gets crunched.

People on this forum will offer what they offer. @TooManyToys Is right… anyone with critical thinking skills and access to the web will not pay what you’re asking. You’re trying to capitalize on an unprecedented market (albeit too late)… knowing what it takes to make these trucks reliable and correct the “bulletproofing” from shops who don’t actually know what they’re doing, I wouldn’t pay $20k for it. I’d prefer an untouched motor anyway. This is just my opinion. Seriously, good luck.

We have the ability to up coverage/payout from our insurance companys. Owners of vintage/valuable vehicles do this all the time.

This has been an enlightening conversation with you. You've been very quick to try and pick a fight and criticize my asking price. But when asked your opinion on a fair price, you only provided anumber you WOULDN'T pay. I would have expected you, a contributing member of this community, to offer constructive, well informed feedback on a fair value for my truck.

I wish you well, good sir!

As an owner of two 1966 GT-350s, I'm well aware of what you can insure classic/vintage/valuable vehicles for, but you also have to have an appraisal from an independent source to qualify for that. An insurance company will not give a $100k policy for a $50k vehicle as you propose; they will insure for $50k and tell you if you don't like it, go elsewhere. Otherwise, there would be a lot of $100k insured vehicles getting totaled.

A Powerstroke 6.0 is not a vintage/valuable item. It's a truck.

People can negotiate with the insurance company and use an independent appraiser, but you don't get what you put into them for road vehicles. Hell, you don't even get what you put into a classic car selling one. This site and other forums are filled with insurance stories.

People will pay what they think the value is. The purchaser of this truck may pay 39-5, and in a half mile of driving it into a pole, will have a rude awakening.

It has been known for really nice 7.3s to get insane money. Right now, dealerships in my area have cars. It's not like what it was six months to a year ago.

I have insured vehicles for an Agreed value ( I set the price ) vs market value they set the rate accordingly

there may very well be someone with cash looking to revisit what they mistakenly remember as good times with a 6.0 they were sorry they sold and if they have cash to burn this is the kind of replacement vehicle they would want IMO

Leave the man alone. If it doesn’t sell, he can lower the price.
I’ve seen cars from the 60s-70s that I have driven and thought marginal performance wise sell for over $100K at auction.

My apologies. I didn’t mean to pick a fight. Rereading my posts, the tone of my comments was a bit aggressive, lol. I was likely projecting… I have some friends and family that I’ve watched pay way too much for vehicles (and homes) over the last two years. Many of them have gotten in to a serious financial bind for it and it is tough to see them walk through it.

As the market begins its descent, those family and friends will be hit the hardest I’m afraid. Some of them paid $100k over asking price because of bidding wars after just having paid $10k over MSRP for a new truck.

Regarding your truck… I understand wanting to command a high price based on mileage and condition. If it were a Lariat with a lifetime, nationwide warranty maybe I would actually pay somewhere around $20k for it. Being an XLT that has been “bullet proofed” for that kind of price is too risky for me because I realize the integrity of the work you’ve had done is 50/50. A possible do-over to correct that work can be very costly as many other contributing members can tell you.

If you can post more than 3 pictures and provide images of the invoices with the name of the BPD-approved installer, it’ll help. I’m sure it’ll sell locally and I sincerely hope the shop that did the work is reputable.

Sorry for coming off like a jerk.












I wish you well, good sir!
