My 01 7.3L Excursion is worth high teens, your truck is worth a LOT more than he is offering you. I was in the car biz for many years and as someone else said, they are sucker fishing. $35k is dead nuts lowest trade in value I would take but even that is low for that truck.
Keep looking, hell $40k on the street is a good deal for your truck IMO.
here #'s for you.

Diesel trucks a few years old like yours are worth $ on the lots, the mileage does not affect them like the gassers. I have been thru this ordeal 3 times in the past 6 years. Last one I bought 2012 F350 6.7 King Ranch Crew Long Bed SRW, black and gold, 20" wheels, nav, etc. 90K miles and the dealer paid $35k trade in for it, sold it to me for $40K. That was the best deal I could find went from Ohio to Texas to buy it.
The GM diesels do very well on the used market. If your not having luck local maybe worth a call to the big diesel players in the U.S. like North Texas Truck Stop or Dallas Diesel. They wanted my 7.3 Excursion and offered good $ sight unseen but I already had a deal in Ohio.

When the dealers and public sales are getting close to those crazy asking prices you have to say...yes, that is what they are worth. Now area and location also play a large part as well.
While you can't see it cause my Sonic makes it look like a hotwheels....mine is lifted as well, wheels/tires, tune, Limited, and some other goodies.
