Tough Times

sorry for your change in circumstances, but try not to sweat it. Money comes and goes throughout life. Just roll with it. Take the $63k and downsize for a while.

How about 20 bucks and a lightly worn pair of very nice tube socks to take if off your hands?

I'll throw in a sixer of PBR.

Market is hot right now for low mileage used trucks. Hopefully your new career will allow you you save up for a Gen 3 Raptor!

Check Carvana and Carmax and go with the highest. I doubt you'll get that much more to make it worth dealing with private sale and you have a loan on it which is a pain in private sales.

ive sold 3 cars to carvana great experience all 3x's, wont hurt to get an offer from them

Sorry to hear about your situation. I think the $63K is pretty fare with millage and for what you paid for it.

Setbacks are repackaged opportunities.

Check to see if dealers in other states or city's would give you a higher dollar amount. Raptors are still over invoice in some places in So Cal. Not sure about the raptor market in Indiana.

I agree. Less headaches.
Hope everything works out. Always time for toys later. Wasn't able to afford my toys till kids were out and I retired. Good Luck.

63 offer from a dealer doesn't sound horrible, I would have said 65.

Thank all of your for your caring replies. So I took stock of my situation driving home today (50 mile hike) and it hit me. 89 people were laid off at my wife’s job, the rest including her had to take large pay cuts. So many people have lost their jobs, companies they have spent decades building and sacrificing for. And here I am wallowing in self pity about having to trade in my $75k truck and buy a much cheaper brand new truck.

Instead I’m changing this tread to “ Thank you GOD for allowing me time in a Raptor”

I took this lower paying job to help make this world just a little better place, so if loosing my Raptor is the price then so be it! So I’ll be lurking around in the background until I make my way into a Gen 3, GOD willing. Until then gentlemen!

Great attitude, wish you the best going forward, Charles.
