[QUOTE="Lannie, post: 1839154, member: 8202"] My husband recently got a new (to us) truck, because the old one needs a lot of engine work, which we couldn't afford. The first place he took it (a Ford dealership) said it needed a whole new engine, to the tune of $16,000.00. Uh, no. We're not in any kind of "city," so there aren't a lot of options for getting it worked on. It's a 2004 Ford F-15 4WD super cab with 153,000 miles, in good shape except for the engine. As far as I could glean (I love that word!), one valve cover is cracked, so it leaks a lot of oil, the timing chain most likely needs to be replaced, and oh, there's a short in the wiring somewhere so the driver side electric window won't go down. That's a minor fix, I'm sure. On the plus side, the interior is excellent, there's a tow package, the body has no dings, although there is a tiny piece of plastic missing off the grille where a pheasant smacked it one day... It's a nice truck, it just runs like crap and needs a bunch of work. Anyway, there's a guy we know that might be interested, but he wants to know how much we want for it, and neither of us have a clue. If the engine has to be replaced, he can get one that might fit (it's a Triton V8) for around $2,000.00 and then he'd have a nice truck. Do any of you have any idea what a fair price would be for a truck like this? [/QUOTE]
