What is my truck worth? pics, vids, mods, etc.

[SVTdubs]

I have been tossing around the idea of selling my truck already to get into a Dodge Viper for real this time. I am just curious what you all think my truck is worth and where you think I should price it in order to move it quickly and not come out too bad on my end either.

Here's some info, pics and videos of the truck.

1999 Ford SVT Lightning
I bought the truck BONE STOCK with 62k miles on it on June 14th. The truck has the following mods now with 65k miles on it currently.

-Factory Tech Valve body and 4x4 pan (shifts harder and increases transmission life)
-Metco 4lb lower pulley (interchangable hub)
-JLT cold air intake with matching red paint
-Diablo MAFia
-Diablo chip (very safe tune)
-LM1 Wideband with a steering collum guage
-Custom sub box with 12" JL W0 sub and 980W amp (stock head unit)
-5% limo tint on sides and rear window
-Driveshaft Loop
-2 stock F150 wheels powdercoated black with 26x10.5x16 et streets
-Brand new battery with 3 year warranty installed last week

The truck has been well maintained and I have had ZERO problems with the truck. The oil has been changed every 3000 miles and it was previously owned by an older gentleman who did windshield repair work. He took the car to the dealership for all scheduled maintenence and he never raced it.

I know you guys are going to get ALL over me for this but I really want a viper

 

[01Sleeper]

You better tell Palo to show up for court next time, or you won't be getting a turbo kit from him

IMO you should not have bought this truck and the other cobra. You should have just saved up for a viper.

Agreed. But, I'll give you $1 for the truck.

Im regretting the truck now. I honestly had the capital one check for the viper, and there was one in utah that I put an offer on. It was solid red, had 70k miles and he was asking 36.5 for it. I offered him 33k and he said 34.5 was the lowest he'd go. I got the truck and then 2 weeks later I get an email saying he will take 32 for it. GO FIGURE.

here is what I would be looking at

its actually sapphire (blue) but looks black. Id be looking at a black one but same combo.

 

[SVTdubs]

and I could just wait until march and keep the Lightning, but I want a viper NOW, lol.

Sell truck.
Save money.
Buy viper.


Seems simple to me. Good luck!

So you want a viper to go into winter? How are the winters in CO

 

[Rotzs99]

No idea what the truck is worth, but there was a SICK red viper at the Rolling Meadows show two weeks ago. Maybe Maniak can post the pics. Good luck with the Viper.

 

[Wiked L]

If you want an honest opinion..
In chicago a 99 with that many miles are going for anywhere from 16-18. I don't know what prices are around you. With the new Saleen trucks coming out a lot of people are ditching there L's so keep that in mind too.

Think first. Purchase second.

You can check KBB.com and Edmunds for used car values if you haven't already. They're usually reasonably close. You could also take the Lightning to Car Max and get a free quote on what they'd pay you for it. If you needed a quick sale, they'd write a check fast.

winters are fine out here. It snows a lot at once but by the next day, its all melted. Plus, I bought my girlfriend her first car back...
a bronco 4x4 for trails and winter for the both of us!

 

[SVTdubs]

its a rough life out here

 

[Rotzs99]

hmmm, so i need to move to fort collins. Need bigger tires on the bronco. But great choice for a vehicle.

 

[SVTdubs]

that is being taken care of as well!

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

How much do you want for it? I can ask around.

 

[SVTdubs]

16 and it would be gonner

 

[Jimy Bilmo]

I'll ask around.

 

[Ear Rak]

get a real bronco

sorry just had to add that

 

[oohsoobad2]

Damn, Im wanting a clean Lightning... but it has to wait til spring time.


Nice truck, a Viper certainly isnt a downgrade !!

 

[Mr. Unknown]

Same could be said for you.

 

[VenomInside]

Same could be said for you.

Yea, but i can wait on the vette. I am happy with the cobra.
