I am looking to buy an 04-08 4x4 F-150. I would like to buy from an individual and I'm not really scared of anything over 100k but I am wondering how many miles everyone has seen out of these trucks. I know that under well maintained conditions, they should easily see 200k before anything major. Please help me put my mind at ease about buying over 100k.

I just purchased an '05 XLT Scab 5.4L 2 wheel drive for $8700 a couple months back. It had 106K miles. I generally see a higher mileage vehicle as worth while if you are getting a really good price. The private party good value on my truck was about $12.6K. I only would only buy one if I was getting a very good price. If I had to pay around $12k I would never had done it. There is a certain amount of risk you take on when purchasing a higher mileage vehicle. So if the price is right I would take the risk.

Just make sure it was well maintained and you should be fine. I too believe that 200k is pretty easy now a days on newer vehicles. So I put 120k on it and sale it for $2500, so it only ends up costing me $6200 to put 120k in miles on it. To me a smoking deal. I already have about 3500 trouble free miles on it. I hope it continues.

04' Has 220k on the ticker and still runs and drives like it has 50k

I say anything over 100k go for it.
