But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Sales/Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up a Ford dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. This car in Florida should cost the same in California. The taxes vary by state.

Question From Don: I would like to buy a used 2007-2008 Ford Expedition El Eddie Bauer 4WD, or Limited 4WD what should be may price range?

Queen of the Road: Hi Don. We’d be happy to help you find a fair price range. Do you a certain Ford Expedition in mind? Generally, we research prices based on an individual car and it’s mileage. So as soon as you find an Expedition, then we can pull up some numbers.

Here’s an example for starters: For a 2007 Ford Expedition El 4WD V8 5.4L Eddie Bauer with 27,800 miles, wholesale prices range from $22,500 (being in above average condition) to $20,500 (being in average condition) and $18,600 (being in below average condition).

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $20,600 to $24,800. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

So when you encounter a Expedition you’d like prices, then just send us the car’s info. and we’ll get you a price range. Goodluck.

i wanted to know how much is a reasonable offer for this car and if it can go any lower?
i live in the 01844 area code. thank you very much

Queen of the Road: Hi Jade. Welcome to our blog. Here you go…

For a 2006 Ford F150 PickUp 4WD V8 Ext Cab 5.4L XLT with 36,300 miles, wholesale prices range from $13,500 (being in above average condition) to $12,000 (being in average condition) and $10,600 (being in below average condition).

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $12,000 to $15,100. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

$17,000 is a rip off. Talk the price down and if they don’t budge, then walk away. Remember that the consumer has the power.

Question From Debra:  How much is a very clean, very low mileage (35,000 miles) 1993 Ford 1/2 ton F150 with at tow package worth?

Follow Up Comment: Thanks for the reply and here are my responses - 2WD, Reg Cab, XLT with the trailer package and a perfectly clean interior. Thanks! it’s a V8. Anyway, the pickup is a 5.8L and did I already mention that it came with a towing package?  Thanks for your patience though I’m sure you have gobs on your plate to keep you busy!  Debra

Queen of the Road: Hi Debra. Since the car is older than a decade, the wholesale prices for that car are quite low. The older, the more depreciation.

For a 1993 Ford F150 Pick Up 2WD V8 Ext. Cab 5.8L XLT with 35,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $1,600 (being in above average condition) to $1,400 (being in average condition) and $1,200 (being in below average condition).

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $1,700 to $2,200. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.

This is our 175th AutoBrag Deal Of The Day. What we’ve done is searched through www.autobrag.com and discovered certain vehicles being sold for considerably less than market prices. Usually, the dealerships are using these “loss leaders” as a way to gain more business.

Crash Test and Rollover Ratings for the 2009 Ford Ranger 2dr SuperCab.

GM, Ford and Chrysler are furiously lobbying for $25 billion in immediate bailout money to help them survive the industry’s worst financial crisis. Struggling to keep alive a government bailout of the troubled auto industry, key supporters offered concessions Friday — including reducing its $25 billion size. The White House came out firmly against a Democratic plan to carve it out of a $700 billion rescue package for financial companies.

Some GOP senators signaled they might accept a rescue for Detroit’s Big Three if it contained strict conditions for the beleaguered companies, including management and salary changes, concessions from their powerful unions, and a commitment to making more fuel-efficient vehicles.

Also slated for next week are hearings on the auto bailout that could help determine its fate. The Senate Banking Committee plans a session on Tuesday and the House Financial Services panel will hear Wednesday from the Big Three auto executives and the United Auto Workers. What do you think the Senate will do?
