How many miles does your have on it. Mine is a 2002, 6 speed manual and just has clicked over 23000 miles. Always been garage kept. Still has the original tires, batteries, the plastic protective cover has never been pulled off top of the carpet yet that came on it new and 100% stock.

When I hit 1,000,000 miles, I'll do a frame-off concours restoration and enter it at Amelia Island . . .

I am about to turn 54,000 miles on my 01. Ford dealer offered me $10,000 for it on trade. Decided to run it another 11 years. It really runs like a dream for being 11 years old. New ball joints, manual hubs and anti sway struts @ $1000 and I think it will go easily until I'm 80 years old, if I live that long.

Very uncommon for ANY 2002 model vehicle with 23K on it. JimmyDee, you should get at least $15K for a truck with that low of mileage. Go on kbb.com and see how much it tells you how much your truck is worth. You might be surprised, I know I was.

Not many creampuff trucks with that low mileage on them. If you keep that up, it'll be one of those "barn fresh" antiques you hear about. :no:

You need to take that thing out and DRIVE it!!! It's not happy being cooped up in the garage.


I though mine was relatively low mileage at 150K for a teenaged truck. We have a shortage of roads around here. If I lived down in America, I'd probably be pushing 300K.

I have 120,000 on my '02 7.3. I've heard of guys paying upwards of $20,000 for a low mile 7.3, because of the cost and complexity of the newer trucks.

My 2000 finally rolled over to 25001 miles. Love the truck, love driving it. I don't want to wear it out and have to buy a new one, cuz there is nothing that can replace it.

Based on the 663,000 miles I got out of my last one (before it was destroyed in a wreck) you should be able to enjoy yours for about 40 more years... lol

These trucks were made for driving and pulling. Just turned 374,000. At 372,000 new ball joints brakes rotors 2 injectors 6 new tires and new glow plugs $3900. A lot cheaper than a new one.

This is a 2000 with 52,000 miles on it and it belongs to my father. I ordered it for him along with the green one in my avatar in the summer of '99. I sold mine three years later and he kept his. Always kept in his warehouse. The truck 100 % stock and runs like new. He promised the truck to my 14 year old when he was only 8. Needless to say my son is counting down the days to his 16th birthday and getting his hands on this truck.

I've got 4 guys waiting in line for it. One offered me $18k. That's very reasonable, but a comparable replacement is about $65k and I refuse to be in debt ever again. :nono:

I thought mine was low at 135k... Man I would love to take it back to 23,000! That's not even broke in!
