$11k is a lot of coin for basically the same truck with less miles.
The V8 is a thirsty, maintenance whore. The I6 will run forever, even if you neglect it. The "switching cost" never goes away... crappy trade-in, taxes, registration, etc. I personally don't see a real reason to switch.

Alright...PPI came back and of course oil change & one tire replacement as I expected. Only other item was the right front axle boot for $300. This maintenance price range is within what I expected. I think I have done all I can do....gonna pull the trigger, hopefully today but prob tomorrow.
Thanks again all. I havent posted much on this site; but referenced it constantly over the last 7 years....invaluable. |

To help in your decision:
I recently traded in my perfect condition 06 4.4. I was 2nd owner. 70k miles and flawless condition. I got 15k on the trade after some negotiation. Other dealers were in the $11 to $12 range, and higher selling price on the new car that I ended up getting for 3% under invoice. I felt I ended up with a fair deal. Kbb was suggesting $16.5 but I think that was high. In my opinion they seem to lag the current market by 4 months or so. The dealer then sold my old X to a local used Eurocar specialist. They have it on their lot for around $20k. They've had it now for a little over a month. They are located in the northeast. That X was a great car. Very few issues during the 6 years I had it. I kept on top of the maintenance and was lucky to keep the cosmetics flawless. Good luck with your X. My experience says great car. I'm looking forward to my next one in a few years. Ches |

I would just add that when it's time to put some $$ it is important to identify location / country where cost of living is different...just between Canada and US i see a 10% to 25% favourable to US for identical product ...
