[QUOTE="stocky, post: 1278436, member: 1150"] I did not want to go through the hassle of trying to sell my truck and have trouble collecting for it or have the buyer come back and complain about the problems, that is why I was looking for a decent trade. My truck was the 2006 1 ton extended cab Ford xlt diesel 6.0. I had not had many problems with mine, but sounds like everyone else had a ton of problems. A couple of dealers just flat refused to make an offer on a trade because they did not want the truck. Several dealers offered 8-10 thousand for the truck. I ended up trading for a Dodge ,1 ton cab and chassis 4 wheel drive Tradesman gas. That is the plainest version, a work truck. I traded on Aug 31 and this dealer beat the others by a whole lot. I ended up almost 25,000 off sticker for the truck on a list of just over 40,000. That was 5-8 thousand better than my other 3 best bids. Based on what they were willing to sell the truck outright for, that was about 18,000 for my truck and 7 thousand off sticker. I put a new Cannnonball hay bed on it. I had about decided just to run mine until it dropped, but when they came up with this, I decided to go ahead. Thanks for the advice and thoughts. [/QUOTE]
