Thinking of Selling my Tremor

[TremorDave]

Carvana's estimate is $47,200.

That’s brutal. Is that number for stock or aftermarket suspension?

Okay, here's my (perhaps uninformed) take having looked at the window sticker. TBH, my 23 Tremor would love this for a step-brother! Virtually identical to what I have. They would be "fraternal twins." Would look great side by side in the driveway. And it would match the 2023 Azure Grey Ranger Tremor we have.

So yes, LOVE everything about the truck.... But....

But the mileage (28k in roughly 2 years)? That's a hefty total however great the truck looks (and it does look GREAT). But 28k puts a real dent in my enthusiasm bucket. I'd be looking to make an offer in the 50-55k range if the mileage was half that.... But at 28k I'm not even at $50k (not trying to cause offense; it's just me and my comfort zone). Especially with Ford's ongoing 10R80 issues (at 28k we're at trans tune-up time).

And speaking of transmissions, given the hitch balls I see at the back, I'd like to know about what the truck has towed, how often, and how far....

B/c while the options post-purchase are really nice and add to the look the tentative asking price of $61k isn't that much lower than what I paid for mine new back in mid-2023. And while the add-ons are nice, they aren't - for me - necessary.

One last question. Apologies if I missed it (I've gone back to Post #1 so many times, my head is now a bit scrambled), but does it currently have a Ford ESP on it? If so, how long (mileage and time)?

Anyway, my $0.02.

Best wishes. Hopefully, someone will get a very nice truck. And, hopefully, you can sell it for what you think is a very good price.

Cheers.

I completely understand. I’ve already bought transmission fluid, a new pan and gaskets for a drain and fill. It does not have Ford ESP. I have a lifetime powertrain warranty. I need to see if it’s transferable. I think it is for two owners total (including me). I think I’ll start the price at $61k just to have some wiggle room. The KBB is $56k to $58k. I’m in no hurry to sell and the mileage won’t go up since I have other vehicles. I can wait on the right buyer. If not, I’ll keep it lol. Thanks for the informative message brother. If you change your mind and want a step-brother let me know!

Stock suspension.

I mean, if it KBBs at 56-58, they have to make some money somewhere.

This is like Pawn Stars where the expert says it would sell for $10k and then the seller is shocked/offended they won't give him $12k.

 

[crazywayne311]

He said KBB said "around" 56-58k.

He wants 61.

You’re right. I simply can’t read today. Two of our units have tripped offline and everyone is freaking out.

Great looking truck btw.

Thank you!

The truck looks great, the one thing I would change back to original before selling would be the seat belts. That orange is obnoxious looking, if it was color matched to the Tremor orange it would be different. Love the mods you did!

To each his own. I had to get used to it, but I love it now. Thanks.

Agreed very nice truck, definitely my taste with the color and I like the seat belts personally. These aren’t boats, I find it surprising so many people are shocked by KBB estimates in upper 40’s. With a rapidly deteriorating warranty and no manufacturer backed low interest financing these things drop in value like a rock. Remember they have a shelf life of 10-15 yrs in the NE. Yes, you lost $15,000 when you drove it off the lot…we are depreciating fast as the first owners. All of us here buying brand new trucks are taking the big hit. No big secret.

LOL It's not for everyone. I may get them to change the color to more of a "Tremor" color later, but we had to go on vacation and I needed the truck.

Where did you get the color seat belts from? I wouldn’t mind some Ford blue ones in my truck.

It depends on your location, but I can pick up a new one 45 mins from my house for $63k.

And that's if I can't negotiate down.

yea , but that 63000. is for a 401a not a 402a. There is a big difference! Apples to Apples, he's real close to an asking price. LOL
