2003 e350 Ford 4x4 van value

[gaiabella]

Thinking about selling my van and I was trying to figure out a value for the rig. It's a 5.7 liter with a Colorado Camper Van pop up, 300 watt solar with 315 amp hrs batteries, rack, winch, etc. The interior is casually built out with 2 futon beds, sink, ARB 50 qt fridge, Lagun table etc. Sorry no interior photos at this time. 160k miles. Just looking for an estimate.
Thanks, mark

Nice looking rig. I am not knowledgable-enough to help you with an evaluation...but can I ask what rims you are running? Are they stock steel at 16X7 or Vintique at 16x8 or 10?

I found some more photos.

Ya it's a 5.4L (typo). It has an after market 4x4 set added.

It is tricky to value .. there is useable stuff here.. but weaker axles, motor, rear gearing is tall, and the inside pics show the interior is very rough..

If I were you I would finish out the interior with grey carpet or loncoin... dont leave exposed foil backed insulation... And maybe get the entire thing vynil wrapped ... So that it is at least one color.. that will add a lot of curb appeal for sales..

Thanks David, some good suggestions.

A full width platform for the futon would be good as well, it would give a lot of under bed storage...and still have a second bed when the top is raised.. it's a nice van.. just need to add some finish work...

There are 2 half futons on each side of the back end. There are boards that close the path in between that futons to make a full large bed.

Where are you located? To give you a general idea, you are probably looking at a price of $12k-$25k. But, as mentioned above, a lot of value can be added by finishing the interior (and taking good pics of it) as well as the exterior. The range is large because some of the stuff is very valuable (like the pop top) but the weak axle and undesirable gearing are detractions for many. There are a lot of really expensive 4x4 vans out there, but they have very expensive options on them. With some TLC, your van could be very nice. I am looking for something like that right now to build out but I would need better photos of yours. Is there a bed in the pop top?

There is a great bed up top. Over 8 feet long. There is tons of room too because the roof pops up to over 8 feet.
I'll look for pictures or take some.
I am in Haines, AK now but share time in CA.
Picture here is before Fiamma awning.

How is the rust situation? Can you post some undercarriage pics ? That will be very important in determining a value.

Rust doesn't seem to be a problem. I will get some photos as soon as this hectic 4th time frame passes.

Invest $10k in axles, gearing and finish work... I think you will double your money on that investment... imho...

What axles and gearing do you recommend? Thanks

Is the trans a 3 speed total? Or 3 speed with overdrive making it a 4 speed ?
