Depending on the trim package and the actual problem, that was a hell of a deal

It was a Lariat that had been a farm implement salesman's pickup so it had done a little pulling and quite a bit of gravel driving, but it is was pretty clean.


They sold 3 other pickups with 200k plus miles on them and this one with 98k I was just a little hesitant to spend the money and have the possibility of working on the pickup all the time.

Jesus I would have bought that thing in a heartbeat. You could have replaced plugs, coils, and sensors yourself for $400, had the dealer do the chain and phasers for $2500 and still been under 18k

Though a good buy do we need another $20k pickup was our rationale.
