Please help me determine the value of this pickup

5k

 

I would put it in the 4k - 5k range. The hail damage isnt to major it doesnt look, but it will still be costly to fix and the rust as well, if you keep it for another year or two (which could be possible) that rust could go all the way through, which means a little more to pay out. Not a bad looking truck though.

 

5k-6k

 

With that mileage I'd say 4-5k. Trucks hold their value and someone is always looking for a run around truck. It looks pretty basic even with crank windows which is actually a god thing. Less stuff to worry about. My guess is your friend wants $6,500ish? If you get it for more around 4,500-5,000 at least you can fix any little problem that happens in the next months.

 

I'm no fan of rust, an I'd be less worried about the mileage if it was a Toyota. If your looking to turn it for what you bought it for, shoot as low as you can. It will have over 200K on it when you want rid of it. For some that's a line in the sand.

 

the truck doesnt look too bad...
were on our 2nd 3.7 f150 (work truck) ran the last one till about 180k no problems just regular maintanance and now on my new one (2013) im at almost 30k.
great little engine, get about 21 mpg all day long...
since youre just using it to hold you off till you get rid and get new cars for a 4k offer i think its fair.

 

With the rust.... i would offer in the ballpark of 3800 or 4000. As long as the motor was serviced regular and there are not signs on any serious leaks.....I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage but dang all of the rust for a truck being just 4 years old.

 

What did KBB say? Not a huge fan since they are undervalued a lot, but always worth looking into. Do you know if it's had the scheduled maintenance per the manufacture recommendations? If it has 180k miles and has then the 4-5k range is fair. The 4x4 aspect is what's keeping the value on the truck, if that's not a big deal right now, look for a 2 wheel drive it will be 1500 to 2k less. Only things that cautions me buying used is you are buying someone else's problems, no car is ever what they say it is, and I have bought my fare share of used vehicles. So it's up to you, see if they will let you test drive the truck and find a mechanic that will look at it for you, used to do that all the time before I bought used, like checking for leaks in the oil pan and such and getting a good look at the engine. Hope that helps, and good luck with the truck!!

 

Rust scares me, but i'm from CA, so we don't know what that is. For 4k, you can't really go wrong. I've had fords well into the 200k range. Mine were both 5.8's aka 351W's, but with regular maintenance, they will run forever. Most engines will run over 200k without complaint with diligent maintenance.

Toyota's tend to be used as toy trucks, so the mileage on them tends to be light, which is why you see so many with high miles doing just fine. If this truck was as well maintained as it appears, i would not hesitate to take it up and over 200k in the slightest.

 

Get a buyers check and have them test the frame to see if it is straight. Well worth the money if you are serious about the truck. Never forego complete checks, even if they drop the price. In a year, you will forget what you paid, but never forget bouncing down the road 'cause no one can straighten your frame.
