My grandson is zoomed in on buying a 2016 Ford turbo 6 cyl, platinum, loaded out truck with 33,000 miles. They want $41,000, which I think is too high. What would be a realistic offer for him to try?

I'd try true car and kbb for a general baseline. Then check sites like carmax and carvana, just know those sites are generally a few thousand higher than anywhere else.

With trucks flying off the lots, I don't think that's wildly out of line, offer $37,000 and see how that goes.

That price is crazy.

Make sure its the 3.5 L

FIFY

I paid 41 for a fully loaded 502A Lariat with 14k. In 2017. That's too high for a 3 year old truck that's technically an older body style. A platinum isn't that much nicer. They can probably get that considering the used truck market, but they wouldn't be getting it from me.

That price is a couple grand high from what I can tell but on a good lot they will get that for it, I believe.

How old is the grandson?
When I was 16 my dad gave me a 20 year old truck. He said that was the only one I would ever get for free. My next one would be on my dime.

He can get a new one for less than 40K, maybe not that specific model but definitely a 2019. I would think somewhere around 30K would be more reasonable for that truck.

You never pay what they want! Ever!

That is insane.

I paid 39k for my 2017 f150 fx4 brand new.

How old is he ?

I would be worried about Truck holding it's value with a V6

The V6 3.5 Ecoboost is considered the premium motor in that truck. Pretty sure it's about a $2500 higher option.

I believe Ford is also currently or will be in the near future selling more Ecoboosts than 5.0s.
Both are good.

I have a truck I'll sell him for half of what they are asking. Plus it's a Tacoma. These are good trucks. Just ask any aldeer member.

Pay more for a smaller engine. Yeah that fits right in with today's backwards world.

That offers 375 HP and 470 lb ft of torque. 5.0 makes 395hp and 400 lb ft of torque.
