I was browsing ebay, and came up with this truck. What do you guys think is a fair price for it since it has a restored title?

I'd say there's someone "FISHING" for a chump. Repaired wreck or not there's no way an 08 anything would be on eBay with no reserve and a starting price of $200.00. I'd stay away if you become the winning bidder you can almost count on loosing your money. I'd trun it in to eBay...I'll bet they pull the auction.

^^^ i doubt it, this other company does it all the time

The restored title kills the price for me.
I wouldnt pay over $3000 for it without personally looking at it to see what the extent of the damage was and what it looks like now. Even if it looked and drove like new, I wouldnt go over $4300 because of the title.
Thats just me though. I dont like buying busted up vehicles.

also how many miles can you get out of the 4.2L V6? are they reliable? I will be checking out the truck on Sunday anything i should look for or ask?

From the research Ive done, it seems the 4.2 is a decent engine. It should hold up well.
I would definately drive it to see if it shakes or pulls, I would also crawl under and look at the frame for chipped or cracked paint or ripples where it may have been bent and straightened. I would pay close attention to the alignment and tire wear. Check out the alignment of the body parts as well. If you can, ask the seller to drive it around while you watch from behind to make sure it doesnt track funny going down the road. Ask to see photos of it wrecked (everyone takes photos of their wrecks).

You maybe ok with this place but the fact that the F150 is for sale by a private person still scares me. I'd still stay away. There's too may other trucks out there to pick from...KEEP LOOKING!

A v6 in a fullsize would make me stay away from it regardless of the title. That truck has to be completely gutless.

I used to work in a shop rebuilding salvaged wrecks and reselling them. Some cars were totalled with almost no damage. One car we fixed only needed the bumper painted and the radiator support pulled out with a slide hammer. $300 car sold for $3200.
