New invoice price? Just curious...

[ENafziger]

Just doing some curious thinking lately...

Did anyone buy their 1st gen new that remembers what they sold for back in the day?

I'm looking for a ballpark figure for my '91. 5 W250 5-speed. I'd guess around 22k?

Thanks! Eric

The one i just bought had the window sticker in the glove box still. It's a stripped down 93' 5-spd W-250. I can double check when i get home but i want to say it was around 18k. That would put your guess about right once you figure in the options.

I found this window sticker on google as an example.



I don't have the window sticker from my former '92 W250 CC, but I would guess it would have been similar.

The new 91. 5 5-speed standard cab W250 we bought was $21k. We were lucky to get it and had to have it brought in from 300 miles away.

My loaded W350 ext cab Super LE w/buckets listed for 28K.

My 92 was 4 years old and paid $13400 with 105K on it

I bought mine new in Jan '93 for $22,500 - same price I paid for my house in '74.

My dad spent 24K and change on the 93 he bought new (mine now and turned into a crewcab), W250 clubcab LE with all options except bucket seats and there was 1 radio model better than the one he got. I remember the salesman saying that yes it was in theory a better radio, but that the "lower" model sounded better, still remember the little joystick for balance and fade ( I was 14 at the time)... When I get home in a couple weeks I will look I might have the sticker in a file.

Thanks guys!!! Its amazing how well these trucks have held their value! I'm glad to be back in the 1st gen fold

I paid $13,500 for my 89 4x4 in 1990, it was a bank repo that the dealer picked up. Best truck I ever owned. The Gas truck was $13,550 back then and the Diesel was about $8500 more that's why I jumped on the repo one with the full extended warrenty. It had 11, 000 miles on the clock. Wish I could find a deal like that again.....

In the summer of 93, I priced out a new 93 LE, Cummins, 5 speed with most bell and whistle for just over 22K, MSRP. The Dodge dealer in Butte Montana wouldn't budge on the price because the new 04 2nd gen were far inferior to the 1st gen, in his opinion. How wrong was he?



I waited to order a 95 because the 94 never had an extended cab and I wasn't going to have another single cab. At that time I has a sorry F250 gasser single cab.

I bought my '93 new, mid-year, ordered with little on it. It had cruise, manual windows, and rubber mats. It was a 250 4x4, 5spd extended cab. The original window sticker is missing, as it should have been with the title and papers, but the original tax reciept was there, as shown below for $22,975. I also bought a Reg cab, 250 2wd, auto SLT? at the same time, and I gave $16,250 for it, as they were trying to get rid of it at the time to make room for the new body styles... ... I sold it in '03? for $4,500. My uncle bought one just like it, and his best friend bought a 250 4x4 SLT, which I think it was $18???. The '91 my dad bought was a 350 CC, and I think he gave $13,500 for it. It's been sold, too, so I don't have that reciept. My old '89 350 CC was used, and I gave $6800 for it in '94, drove it hot-shot 2yrs, shared it for Dad for 2 years, added @ 400k, and traded it in in 98 on a new Durango for my mother, and they gave me $6400 on trade in(you had to be careful checking the rear diff oil, or you might cut your finger on the ring gear teeth!!). Yeah, I like how they retain their value.

I remember new 1st gens on the lot when I was in college and how "expensive" they were. I still go looking on the lots once in a while... and not much has changed in the way I think.

'dat ain't no lie!! I was looking at the used lot the other day!! WOW!! Guess their sales are better than I thought!! It's pretty sad, I'll try find it, but somewhere I have the reciept from my Dad's new '74 PowerWagon, in an envelope where he had sold some steers for $1. 09 a lb..... the truck cost like $7,000... ... . up until last year, we have never seen steers over $1. 15 or so!! This year they're up to about $1. 35. So a new truck has gone up 485%, but the commodity I make a living with has gone up 23% Nice. #@$%! And people wonder why bread and milk cost so much, but it's harder than ever for a farmer/rancher to make a living!?!?! And then, the dang new trucks will bend if you hit a mosquito too hard!!! Let alone when a cow backs her ol' nasty back-side into the side of it!!! And fall apart!?!?! The old 1st gens were prone to having cracks and metal fatigue, but they could be fixed fairly easy and never, ever left me stranded anywhere(I might have to hold the door closed as I drove, but)..... the 2nd gens have issues with the cabs getting "soft" and the back doors rattling(if you had them), and the 3rd gens just have all kinds of crap wrong with them!! I know, they don't last forever, right?!?! But even I could make money in the auto industry for as much as these dang things sell for!!!:{
