We bought a brand new supercrew f250 gasser back in 2010 for $32,000 the sticker was over $40,000. They gave us almost $26,000 for it when we traded in 3 years later. I was happy with that deal. Supercrew F150's were costing about the same as the F250 i got. Of course their gas mileage was better, lol.
