October 23rd, 2008

Question From Gabe: I’m looking to trade in my 2006 F-150 extended cab 4×4. It’s an xlt with 37000 miles. What can I expect. I live in Chicago if that matters.

Queen of the Road: Hi Gabe! For a 2006 Ford F150 4WD V8 Ext Cab 5.4L XLT with 37,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $13,700 (being in above average condition) to $12,100 (being in average condition) and $10,600 (being in below average condition).

Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $12k to $15.4k.

If you’re disappointed with what the dealer will offer you, here’s an article that covers what’s required for a successful do-it-yourself sale: 7 Steps To A Smooth Car Sale

Goodluck, Gabe!
