No, I don't mind. Relatively speaking, I felt like we did alright at just under $49k for the Exp. I am working on getting a window sticker for exact build, but it is a 2018 4wd Limited 82K miles, I believe 302A package. It has pano roof, adaptive cruise, park assist, 360 camera, 22" wheels, ccd suspension, captain chairs, RSE, and all the rest.
Between CarGurus, autotrader, NADA, KBB, the values were all over the place as well as for my trade in. I could not rely on any of those sites, so I landed somewhere in the middle. I knew what I wanted for the trade and was able to get them down a couple thousand off their listed price close to the Carfax value. I based it off what I saw between CarMax, Carvana, and Ford Blue Advantage used prices and had an idea of where I would agree to.
I hear all the groanings regarding prices and "that's too much for a used truck" and what not, but I am not interested in all that. I just do not see it getting better anytime soon. Sure, if we knew that prices would be better 6 months from now, I would have waited. There is no indication that will be the case, and I am afraid there likely will be no relief. I think this could be a long game with prices staying "high" (again, this is relative) for a few years. Forget ever going back to the "normal" that was before 2020, this is the reality we are in. With a growing family, it does me no good to hold out for 2-3+ years. My budget is not $65-70k+ on a build-to-order Expedition to make payments for the next 8 years. It came down to this Expedition or a 2016 LTZ Tahoe with 80k miles they were asking $47K. The EXP blew it out of the water with features, room/comfort, and 2 years newer technology so a no brainer.
I am willing to accept that I could be wrong, but time will tell.
