Should I trade my '07 F150 for an '05 Escalade?

The escalade is pretty clean. Same mileage. My truck has a few things wrong with it (exhaust leak, paint chip) the escalade is the suv. My Ford is a 5.4L motor which I've heard a lot of bad things about. Should I make the deal?

I wouldn't just because you don't know what you're really getting. I would take your truck to an exhaust shop and get the leak fixed to renew some love for it and keep it around.

You say you have some problems with your F150 but do you know that the Escalade doesn't also have problems, maybe worse? Have you had a mechanic inspect it? Have you seen the Carfax report on it? Have you driven it? Has it ever been wrecked? Does it have a clean title?

  • Should I trade my 2014 Nissan Maxima base for a 2011 Ford Mustang Base sports package? It would be a even trade. The Mustang has the Mustang sports package with includes pipes, and a upgraded engine. Any suggestions. I would be trading a 2014 for something that is older, but better. My maxima has a sunroof, and power seats, and the Mustang doesn't.

  • Should I sell the car or trade it in? I have a 2001 Ford Focus SE wagon. It has about 178,000 miles on it. Yesterday, I went to two dealerships. One told me I wasn't going to get much for it but would not give me an estimate. The other one I went to told me that it was in good shape but because of the year and mileage that it still would not be worth much. We were thinking about setting our own price and selling it ourselves. What would be the better deal - selling it ourselves or trading it in?
