Thinking of trading banshee for pickup

[shoopie]

i have the opportunity to trade my banshee for a 1996 F350 Quad cab 4x4 lifted 3" with 35's 460ci E40d auto tranny. truck is clean, no major rust or dents, only the usual dents and scratches that would be on a 15 year old truck. interior is clean. new front tie rod assembly, new k&n air filter, new fuel filter, flushed tranny, new tranny filter. 230,000 miles on body, 70,000 on motor, 100,000 on tranny. i think this is a pretty damn good deal but let me know what you guys think.

my parents jeep wrangler

Looks like a pretty decent truck, and if your in need for your own vehicle it mite be a good idea. I guess just depends if you still want your shee or not.

 

Me personally, my bike is worth more than I could ever sell or trade it for...(sentimental value)

 

But to each his own.

I was gunna swap my Banshee for a Harley ironhead 2 summers ago. it was a killer bike. new paint and lots of chrome, but when the time came i couldnt do it. like 06specialedition said, sentimental value.

yea, i love my shee but i dont have any time nor good places to ride plus im going to college next year so if i keep it its just gonna sit there. and if i get the truck, the resale value is going to be more than what my banshee is worth so i can always get another nicer one if i decide to sell the truck.

hope you got a good job while going to school, that trucks a gas hog, does the truck have any paperwork on the engine rebuild? make sure you get papers on that truck i love ford trucks and owned one just like that all i ever did was wrench on it, my wife named it the hundred dollar bill for a reason, make sure you check it out real good, id hate to see you get burned

[shoopie]

Don't know if there's much demand for flipping that type of vehical. If you're not real good with inspecting trucks might want to take it to a mech , $50-100 for inspection. X-2 on gas hog.

Damn your going to need a second job to put gas in that thing,im guessing around 8-10 mpg

yea i dont think im going to drive it that much. probably just clean it up and put it up for sale.

wow 460? thats a monster of a motor. I drive a ram 1500 360ci to university right now and all I can say is underground parking is off limits to me. as well as parallel parking. and the normal parking spots I cant open my door if there is another truck beside me. Thats just the parking. Don't even ask about gas, my dads company pays for my gas but if he didn't I'd have to drop out.

 

From a college students opinion keep the banshee, when your in exam time haven't showered in 3 days and havent left the fuckin library for 16 hours a nice ride on the banshee does wonders.

plus surfing bansheehq during class makes time go by fast.

trust me im not going to leave the banshee world forever. im just thinking about this from a money making standpoint. just kbb'd the truck at just around $5,300 in its current state and i have less than $2300 in my banshee. im going to do the trade and try to sell the truck and see what happens.
