I'm thinking of trading for new, they wanna hurt me on trade. 03 3500 crew long dually 4x4 LT all options except dvd. dark gray with leather and 32k miles. they only wanna give 27k for trade.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley7.gif what is it worth to sell on my own.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif Edited by: painter

No deal --were they gonna include a kiss with that deal? You know the saying....Trade in's are always a kick in the pants.


Suggest going to www.kbb.com (http://www.kbb.com) or www.autotrader.com (http://www.autotrader.com) type in your zip code to find the prices for your area. I believe on one of these sites you can type in your make/model and it will give you estimated value for trade-ins, loan value and for sale to an individual. In the Tampa area they are currently listed between $29,9 and $34,5.


Every deal seems to be different, with the 05's comming out I'm sure it's knocked the value down on earlier models in the last couple of months


my .02 cents---good luck

I think if you sold it on your own you should be able to get about 31,ish for it... It is hard to sell vehicles right now with all the rebates and incentives... Best of luck...

AS far as what its worth... I would say not to the 27K... as the more reliable guide for values is www.nadaguides.com (http://www.nadaguides.com) ..


Kelly's blue book www.kbb.com (http://www.kbb.com) does not show the correct reflection on pricing


show average trade in to be $35.550 and the avg retail is $39,950 I think one thing that will hurt just a little bit.. not much but a little is the high mileage.


just my .02

Only problem with those quotes is they are extremely generous.
When the rebates were out in 2003, I didn't even pay 39,5 for my truck
new. The trade ins around here are 27-29,5 according to two
dealers I called. One is a good friend who sold me my truck which
is a 2003 and I didn't tell him it wasn't me thinking about trading my
truck.



The statement that it's worth about 31 if you sold it is very true also.

I thought i got low balled when i heard 27k. I figured 31 trade and 33-35 private sale. I think i'll keep it another year,it's a great truck. i'll try to refi at a credit union.
