Default In the market

Hey guys, new here. I've been in the local dealer market for an F150 and hope to get one soon. Price range is 18-22k, looking at 2011-2014's, 4wd, and either 3.5 ecoboost or 5.0. From WNY

I'm considering a white 2014 with 83k miles, 3.5 ecoboost, XLT 4x4 supercrew, tan leather interior (no heated or cooled), backup cam, spray in bed liner, tonneau cover, remote start. Price is $21,995


Anything specific I should check or look at?

There's no rust at all anywhere on that truck. Does that sound like a reasonable price with the miles, options and year?

I know people will be very mixed but I was originally wanting the 5.0 over the 3.5 for maintenance/reliability cost purposes with the miles but I know there's 3.5s that are going strong will a ton of miles, and it depends on the maintenance

I ended up talking them down to 20k flat, and they also gave me 1500 more for my trade in than any other local dealership. She's mine, picking her up today

She's home. First thing I did (which I HIGHLY recommend) is I replaced the factory HID bulbs with factory replacements OSRAM Xenarc Cool Blue Boost D3S bulbs. They are expensive but they are the brightest, clearest factory replacements bulbs you can get and they're a little more bluish than factory, but not ricer-blue. Crystal white clear center with bluish edge. Luckily, the car I traded in had the same bulbs which I bought last year so I just swapped them out with the stockers before trading her in
