What is it worth?

[Floorist]

'99 F 250 V 10, 103,000 miles, only body damage is a scratch on the tailgate, clean and good on the inside.

 

[Floorist]

new tires

No guesses? I need to give the estate a bid on it. I am going to bid really cheap, because I don't need it. Only want it to resell.

 

[Havasu]

In my area, KBB.COM shows this selling from $4,600 - $6,900, but could not find a v-10 option.

 

[Floorist]

V 10 was a lousy motor. Had a habit of blowing out spark plugs and manifold bolts. Otherwise I would keep it if I get it. I offered the appraised price. $170. Just looking to turn a big profit. Three heirs are my wife, my youngest SIL (in jail for drugs) and the middle sister, who is an addict.

Thanks.

Did you get it

 

[Floorist]

Still waiting for the court to do something.....anything. My MIL died last June and things have been in limbo since.

 

[Havasu]

She obviously did not have a trust?

 

[Floorist]

Said she left a will, but no one can find one.

 

[Chris]

Maybe someone did find it but wasn't pleased with the results

 

[Floorist]

Her sister would do that.

 

[Steelman]

You offered $170 for it?!

 

[Floorist]

You offered $170 for it?!

That is the estimate the court listed.

 

[Floorist]

Court estimate ended up being $550. I have offered that. Waiting for an answer. Meanwhile, I have a question. When I push on the fob that is supposed to unlock the doors, the inside buttons move about half the distance they should, but not enough to unlock it. Any ideas? Seems odd that both would do it at the same time. Battery in the fob?

Could be, try putting a new battery in the remote. I'd try that first.

 

[Floorist]

I had wondered about that.
