We finally found the paperwork, so I could look up the bluebook myself, with the actual model.

2,008 Ford F150 Super Cab XL 4D 6 1/2 ft with:
130,000 miles: $6,911
105,000 miles: $8,335 (7 x 15,000)
70,000 miles: $10,570 (7 x 10,000)
200,000 miles: $5,466

I find it strange that mileage in and of itself is more relevant to value than actual condition. Those numbers are for a truck in "Good" condition. Fair would have been $5,986 and Excellent would have been $7,611, a 27% difference, while the difference between 130k and 105k would be 20.6%.

I forget how much Dad owes, but I believe that it is fourteen or fifteen thousand. According to the paperwork, the truck was worth $18,000 three years ago, at 35k.
