I was looking at other F150's listed on that same CL page.

This one looks like a much better deal on a truck that's in better condition. It does have more miles but I'd buy this one over the one in the op.

It's a nice truck but to me a 2wd isn't something I'd pick over. 4x4.. But that's me

Man Thats a nice clean truck brandon!
I think I just love it too much to pass on this deal. I mean thats the lowest mileage I seen in that year for a decent price right? I offered him 4800 over the phone and he said he wont take offers over the phone.

I'm going to look at it tomorrow and try to get him down and bag on the cosmetics hopefully it works.
A system running too lean can't be too serious it looks like. After doing some research worst case is the intake manifold.
Thanks all for the feedback

Crownman thanks, I would go for that but I think I like the 4wd better and the low mileage. Hopefully he accepts 4800 or something that would be great.

X2. If you want
$4800, then offer him like $4500. Then wait for the counter offer then counter offer that, ect. If he says plain no then obviously you offer more or walk away.

Thanks! Just remember, too much sitting can be worse than highish mileage. Just see how constantly it was driven. But yea low miles is nice and I'm sure it's a good truck, but can't tell without looking at it it in person lol.
