Ford F-250 & Ford F-350The heavier duty full sized trucks from Ford, offering bigger, more powerful engines and drivetrains for the abuse they may go through in the workplace.
I am preparing to sell my 1994 F350 Crew Cab dually, Centurion. The truck is very nice with 45,000 original miles. It has been exposed to the sun in Baja for a few years and the clear coat is damaged so I am thinking a paint job in the same colors and scheme as the original from the factory to keep it factory original. What opinions are out there to make the truck look like new or sell it as is....
I'd consult with a detailer - someone that has some great ratings and photos to back up what they've done.
Likely, it would entail buffing out the paint and addressing the fade of interior panels. A low-mileage, rust-free unmolested truck would likely command a premium; if you've got a diesel, your truck is old enough to not be bothered by our diesel laws and again maybe in demand in some areas of the state (I see 20-year-old trucks with 300,000 miles command $25,000+ prices where I live).
Some work you can do yourself and increase its value. I recently bought a 2008 with a ripped seat and bad carpet; it cost me less than $400 to replace it myself - and the truck looks and smells new again. I've already turned down offers for more than I paid...
