theres this 1999 Ford SVT Lightning with a 5.4L S/C. Im contemplating trading my truck 1998 dodge RAM 1500 Laramie SLT 5.9L V8 for the SVT. My truck is in tip-top condition no problems what so ever, its in excellent condition and i can sell it for my geuss of 9-10k private party. They are asking 12.5k for the lightning. If I do go through with this should i add more money to my truck by leaving my sound system in it or remove it and just sell it without it? Fi Q 12" kicker zx1000.1 PG RSD 6.5cs alpine pdx 2.150 and an alpine cda-9885 with the big three yadayada. Ive been wanting to get my hands on a lightning for a while there neat trucks. So what do yall think do it or dont do it?

Do it, and gut your truck. They arent going to give you any extra for that sht.

pull your system out and put it in the lightning...that way you won't have to ask as much for your truck and save you money on purchasing a system for the new truck.....

Pull the system, and go for the Lightning. I have always wanted a Lightning and was stuck between it and the WS6 but I ended up with the The T/A.
