Question

What are the steps to dispose of an unwanted truck?

Answer 1

does it have a gas engine? by the sound of the price it does gas engines in a 350 series is hard to sell most people prefer a diesel at my lot we carry probably 1 gas to 30 diesels u may consider advert. in a magazine or something (depend on your location) geared toward farming and or construction etc. landscaper any publication geared toward that may help and no dont cut your losses it will sell in the right market if you are under current prices and advertise it it will sell

Answer 2

look and see what comparable trucks are selling for. i don't think that sounds to high, but it is a big truck. have you had anyone come to look at it? if you do get them to make an offer and think about it.

Answer 3

You are right. The cost of fuel alone will drop the prices of all SUV's and pick up trucks too. Keep doing what you are doing, maybe you can ask a few landscapers or construction sites. Just keep the for sale sign on it and find as much free advertisings as you can. Make a couple of tear off posters with a phone number and a pic and post them in food stores. You may get lucky. Last straw wwould be to trade it in for what you really want. Sometimes the dealers will do anything to make a sale!. Good luck

Answer 4

Make it disappear and then reappear in Mexico

Answer 7

Yeah...The other guys are on the money about the Diesels. However, I know quite a Few Old folks who use these to pull 5th wheel RVs. They actually prefer the V10 gas over the diesel. Diesel is cheaper to drive, but diesels get finnicky when they sit not running for 6 months at a time. . . Anyway, I have personally sold over 30 vehicles using the Local Autotrader type magazines. You know...The Free Classifieds paper you find by the door at the grocery store etc.... . Take a good color photo and run a Color photo ad for a month. It WILL sell eventually. However, the BIG problem is that you are trying to get DEALER money with a private party sale. Selling cars this way usually does NOT work! People expect to SAVE money by buying private party instead of at a dealership! . . Depreciation stinks! Its why I refuse to drive cars that are less than 4 years old! This truck is losing money at a rate of over $12.00/day even if you dont drive it! If you drive it the value drops Faster! Slash the price on this truck NOW! If you are upside down on it borrow the difference needed to clear the title for the sale!. . It WILL sell but the longer you try to get 'Top Dollar' the more it depreciates. It is far better to have a quick sale for $1000.00 under market than to sit on it for months....and still have to lower the price. Good Luck!

Answer 8

You have a gas hog. The price is going to drop below the 18k like a rock. Cut your losses and sell it for15k before you end up with a value (determined by the current market, not some book made up 8 months ago) of under 10k
