Then he bought the perma-plate appearance warranty (sounding deadening coating/paint protection/rust guard plus windshield replacement
Then he bought the tire and wheel warranty (covers any aftermarket tire and wheels on the vehicle)
I got them all transferred to my name

You make a point but I think its common sense/courtesy to make a vehicle look presentable prior to showing it to a potential buyer. Sadly a lot of people lack both of those traits.
Op didn't you see current pics of the truck prior to committing yourself to a 1k mile drive in a rental car? There's a ton of FX4 F-150's for sale in every state year round.
Good job on bringing it back to life and getting a lower price.

Just obvious the guy didn't take pride in his ride...plus it's just common courtesy to make a vehicle right for the guy driving across 3 states to come get it.
I got the truck for about $3-$4k cheaper than I could locally PLUS I ended up with his 100k warranty plus glass and tire and wheel warranties so I made out pretty good.

I guess you never know his circumstances, not saying he couldnt have taken care of it better, but sometimes work trucks get torn up like that. Out in places like here in the south texas oilfield, my work truck has gotten dirty, chipped and dinged up, and it gets to a point where you dont even bother cleaning for long periods of time cuz its about to get dirty and messed up again and i dont have to time to keep it clean.

Some people are clueless...my wife's niece had a Saturn, ran it for 70,000+ miles when the engine blew. Image the nerve of the dealership not covering a new engine when it had never had an oil change. I probably don't have to tell you what the rest of the car looked like....
[MENTION=148987]Wanna Ride[/MENTION], Yes indeed. I am in total agreement with this statement. I have a brother that is a realtor. You will be surprised the amount of people no matter what economic status, put their house on the market, have open house and all, with out cleaning up or fixing up the house. The realtor company he work has to always tell people to clean up and make the house presentable for future buyers.

Oh, I know. We own a residential cleaning business. The bigger and nicer the house, the more the inhabitants are pigs. You couldn't believe how disgusting some people are. Empty food containers left all over the house, dirty plates, etc. and I don't mean on the table or kitchen counter... All over the house. Not one coffee cup either. And I'm not even going to discuss their hygiene practices.

this is why my truck never leaves paved roads, washed weekly and waxed monthly, and no eating or drinking allowed and the oil gets changed every 3k and other fluids on a regular basis...i want to keep that sucker lasting and looking good for a very long time...some people just dont appreciate a vehicle
