I said no way. they came up to 16k yesterday and lowered price on new truck. looks like im headed to dodge for a new cummins dually. Hope its a good truck. Been a ford guy for 20 yrs but afraid of there engines and sticker price was crazy

Tom, thanks for the info, I called them and the trade was 1000 bucks under what another dealer offered. As luck would have it patience and craigslist yielded me a sale that brought $3500 extra towards new truck !! Glad i held out for straight sale.

So I went to another dealer, and sure enough, they offered me right at KBB trade in @ $35K,. which is fair. After I ran the numbers, it was $31K out the door for a 2015. I couldn't justify a new interior and a warranty for that amount, and really want to hold out if there are changes for 2017.
So, I just picked up a 1999 Ford diesel work truck for a reasonable amount w/ 137K on the clock. I will wait to see what they come out with, I really like the Duramax. A new Ford is also an option. any word on the street on changes for the Ford in the next year or two? |

OK, nevermind. that thing looks hideous.
That front grill should double as a mirror, then you can do your makeup in it. |

^Ha, no I kept the 2013. I kinda like the old 7.3s. Noisy, smokey, oily, just like a work truck should function.

My noisey oil leaking 7.3 is a big reason I don't sell mine. I really like and enjoy it, it gets the work down, and it is a fun truck to drive. I keep saying I want a new Dodge 2500 but I can't see me letting go of the old Excursion. |

That is also true and I agree, but I miss driving older stuff that doesn't cost so much and easy to maintain, and cheaper to hot rod it.
