Where do I list an ‘86 F350

[krinkleneck]

I have been trying to sell an F350 Turbo IDI for a month or so, but I am not getting any bites. A lot of people save it but nobody wants to buy it. I daily this vehicle, and it has been a good runner for me. I just don’t have enough room for this at my new apartment.

I’d say you are pretty high on the price for what you have. But that’s just me in my area. Things may be different for your area. A truck like that in my area with no crew cab and no 4wd with the broken windows and service bed would run about $2500

Cosmetics aside, IF it was ready to work, including the tailgate and all locks working, it might sell.
However it's a yard truck easily, add better details and maintenance records along with pictures of the big mechanical system's.
Good luck

It’s mirrors that are cracked. Windows are fine. But I will look at the other items.

What mechanical systems are the big ones?

In No particular order Suspension, engine, geartrain,
And add stuff that makes a decision to buy.
Doll it up, fix the cheap stuff you have been living with, The little things add up both ways.
Put it in front of as many eyes as you can.

Stuff just ain't moving friend. When it comes to such things you're looking at a very limited audience...... very limited......I mean soooo limited it would probably wouldn't sell very fast if you were giving it away. I'm not being mean by any stretch of the imagination, but seriously, you are looking for a VERY specific person to buy that truck.

P.S. C6 automatic is a real deal killer for those of us who know. Definitely a "yard truck".

Oh, I can do that! I have the records. Thank you.

Honestly, that's relieving. I thought it was just mainly something I was doing wrong. Knowing it would be slow going under ideal conditions removes a lot of the pressure and stress of things.

People are asking 2000 for the front axle in that truck in California. Plus you a turbo. I can't see how much you are asking, but while a limited audience, there are people that like the 86 body style (see my signature). The 6.9 350 4x4 is by far the best configuration in my mind - I don't mind the C6 but I don't drive fast in the truck.

I put it up for $2,700. It is 2wd DRW

The best offer I have gotten on the van I'm trying to sell is 3k. Beginning to think that's the best I'll get, despite being turbo and E4OD. Might have to take that, rather than continuing to pay $75/mo full coverage insurance on it.

Yeah our insurance jumped BIG TIME this year!
Me & Carol no tickets, wrecks.....nothing! But our insurance went up so much I'm considering putting few rigs we got & not driving much "on blocks" as if we not driving but working on them.
2014 Chev Silverado we inherited/paid for when our son passed jumped $500/yr alone for full coverage, of course we have much more than minimum State required coverage.

I see some IDI rigs round here priced all over the place, hi-low-everything.....

Yeah, to where he's looking for 1 specific person, there might be 3 people that you're looking for but really you're in the same boat......or should I say diesel van...... because of the price of diesel, there's just no benefit to owning a diesel anymore. Unless you want a super simple, reliable vehicle that can run on alternative fuels that basically cost nothing...... and who wants some junk like that when you can own a Tesla truck?

What we ought to do is scrap the whole diesel truck thing and get Honda 3 wheelers..... just sayin'.....

It sounds like a good idea until you think about the fact that most of them won't do highway speeds. That could make for a slow commute to work.
