Hello, This xmas I am going to buy a Toyota 4runner, and I am going to sell my 97 F-150 privately b/c they always cheat you on the trade in. I am using edmunds as a baseline for what I want to sell it for. The trade in price/ private party price/ and dealer retail prices are $6,456/ $7,854/ and $9,708. My truck is in good shape, and I get compliments all the time on it. So my question is what price should I shoot for. I would like to get b/w 8-9 thousand for it, but should I ask for more or less than that? I have never sold a car before, but the more money I can get the quicker I can pay off the new car that I'm going to buy. I guess what I am asking is what price should I be aiming for after I have negotiated with someone??? There is one thing I want to mention, my bank (USAA) had the following values for my truck. Anyway, here are the Usaa and Edmunds specs.....Any help and advice would be appreciated
