[QUOTE="Daniel Hennek, post: 1526117, member: 42902"] Why would the craigslist sidebar say it was a V10 but no mention in the actual ad of an engine swap? Seems suspect to not mention by far the biggest and most expensive upgrade. That leads me to believe it's the stock engine and a typo or technology glitch. These are the types of ads you should laugh at and scroll on. Fanboys can get all worked up over all sorts of things but usually they are not thinking about what something is actually worth. You'll see it with boats, cars, ATV's, side by sides, you name it. People aren't generally good with understanding how money works and how assets are valued. Sometimes overpriced ads like this fetch those ridiculous prices from people who have more money than sense, so sometimes it is "worth it" because anything is "worth" what someone will pay. There's always those people that think they bought something for 70k, put 20k into it so it's worth 90k. That works with real estate because it's an appreciating asset. Automobiles are depreciating assets aside from the rare scenario of an ACTUAL collector item and this truck will NEVER be a collector item. If you go buy a $90,000 truck with 24k miles because some dude with a shop bolted some parts on instead of a brand new 2020 with 0 miles for $20,000 cheaper you're deciding that you'd rather not think about the pesky little issue of your money and net worth. Don't discount the depreciation hit from a 2 year old truck with 24k miles. Furthermore, all the "leaked news" stories about the next Raptor might be wrong but it will be coming soon. As soon as it's officially announced all previous year vehicles take a hit in value because the market of new buyers will shrink immediately when the people who are willing to wait decide to see what the next model year brings. Not everyone gets all panicky because of their FOMO. And look at some of the things he put on the list of "Mods" -new tires -2 keys -Manuals -floor mats -"customized California plate" Really stretching to put things on that list so my guess is that there is not a bunch of stuff done to this thing that is "too much to list", but the suggestion was funny...
