Default Should i buy it or run a mile ?

Been looking at this on Ebay and am so tempted, Carfax is clear, originally registered in Canada and looks great.
Just wondering what problems if any i should be looking for and what sort of price i should be offering ?

Thanks for any info

I don't know. I wouldn't buy a truck with over 100K on it. Just me.

Also, no interior photos? What is that about?

Looks like they are trying to sell it based on a shiny wax job. I wouldn't buy a truck without physically looking at it / driving it - especially with over 100k miles.

Can't help you much specifically but food for thought.

I bought an expensive travel trailer from ebay and got a smokin deal. I had a 12 hour drive to go see it for the first time after I paid for it.

That being said it it was a great deal and I felt it was worth taking a chance on. Turns out it was everything they said it was. They had good feedback and had been in busy selling for some time.

FWIW I think the price is way too high. I just purchased a 2007 Lariat 4WD for much less. This is just a 2wd truck with shiny paint and not particularly good miles.

I would walk away. There are far better deals to be had.

Thanks for the thoughts, appreciate it. I thought the price was a touch high but ebay and buying something without seeing it doesnt bother me. Its irrelevant as i am going to walk away but from reading the reviews of the dealership they seem like pretty decent people.

Thanks again

p.s. There were 50 pictures on the truck, including the interior so not sure where you were looking adgjqetuo!

It's a nice looking truck. However a few things caught my eye. I've never seen a FX2 not include the following things: fender flares, the 5.4 and the f150 fender badges don't look correct. I would have the vin run first to make sure you are really buying a true FX2 and not some XL truck that someone modded to look like an FX2. It's cool if someone wants to do that. But when you sell it, it needs to be listed correctly.

Good luck!
