Those bast@!~s kbb.com says retail or what a dealer will get for your xtruck around 34000 diesel trucks have gone up in value as I have seen guys on here asking if 21000 for a truck with125000 miles is ok that's horrable I would definitely not go back to that dealership what crimminals 23000 wow drive the new truck through the front doors (ooops wrong peddle sorry) hee hee.

Crooked dealers suck! You know they are going to sell that truck for 30+ thousand. That is exactly why I like to buy and sell private party.

Well I'll second the motion on crooked dealers, but in all fairness if you dump a ton of cash into your truck you might as well consider that as blackjack money in Vegas, you paid to play. As far as the resale value (private party), KBB says $29272 here in southern Indiana, but with the extra stuff you have, the right buyer, and depending on what part of Ill. you are from, $33000 is not unreasonable. Good luck and don't forget to try the "For Sale" forum.

I paid $25,000 for the truck in my sig, used with 55k when I bought it. I thought it was a good deal at the time, since most were $30k-ish. I think you'd be hard pressed to get $33k, but it all depends on the buyer and the market in your area. Why don't you go around to some of the dealers and see what they're asking for a comparable used rig. Most people looking to make a $30k+ investment in a pickup are going to have done some shopping, and if you can come in a couple thousand under what the dealers are asking you might get lucky. Have to agree with Heartbeat on your aftermarket goodies, though.
