I am planning to order a 1LT/RS this weekend, and I'll be trading in my '05 F-150 Supercrew Lariat with 88k. I've been researching for a couple weeks, and the offers on my trade vary wildly, and so does the price of the car.
On the truck- worst is $11k from Carmax. Best is $16k at a dealer 1.5 hrs away.
The car- worst wants +$3k to order. Most will order for sticker.
I'll probably go to one of two dealers that are offering me $15k and $15.5k and ordering for sticker.
Just don't forget, when you trade you only pay sales tax on the car minus the trade. That means I would have to sell it for $1200 more than the best trade offer. And selling isn't easy right now. I listed on craigslist on lunch yesterday and there were 1400 more listings in Chicago by midnight.
