Hello, not sure this is the best place to post this question or not but here it goes.

Three time Raptor owner, all dailies, looking to buy a 4th purely as a toy. I specifically have been looking for a SCAB Gen 1, pretty low mile. In my search I came across a 60k mile Hennessey, two owner, garage kept, full wrap with PPF, and upgraded brembos, calipers and rotors.

I know there are a lot of Hennessey haters out there, but it is a Rousch S/C and appears to be a well cared for truck, and I see no signs of abuse. Working on understanding the last time the shocks were rebuilt.

So my questions, in today's market what is this truck worth, prices for decent Gen 1 seem to be all over the place, not to mention high mile abused ones.

What else should I be looking into, or for.

Thanks for your (constructive) thoughts.

I'd say 50k if it's a 13-14 and that's on the high side. A year ago that would probably be on the low side.

Biggest gripe with Hennessey is quality of work but if it's gone this long and hasn't caught fire I think you're safe lol. I'd probably change the tune though. I'd go with JDM for an updated tune.

Thanks, that is about where it is. If I pull the trigger I will keep the JDM tune in mind. If the shocks haven't been rebuilt I am going to use the for leverage to get the price down, they don't appear to be leaking.
