Looking at buying a 2010 Platinum 4WD...opinions needed, and a question
Found a black 2010 Platinum 4WD for just under $22k. 141k miles. Completely stock, with the Sony system / nav. It does appear to be in good shape, from what I can tell.
Opinions - good price? Trucks here (in North Texas) seems really high priced.
Question: Above the nav screen, there is a little black bar. Should there be any info there? I thought there might be stereo and or temp info in an LED bar, but this one is completely black.
I have the truck as a loaner until tomorrow so that I can get my mechanic to give it the once over, but any input would be greatly appreciated.

Which engine?
For 22k I'd get something newer, a lower trim than Platinum, and with less mileage, but that's just me... I don't need all the bells and whistles that a Platinum has. But if your mechanic gives you the green light, go for it if that's what you want!

The mileage is the thing that concerns me, although I have almost 160k on my current truck (the '04) with no real issues. Believe it or not, any decent F-150 around here is easily going to be 22k. They are insanely expensive.
I have been trying to convince my wife that we should get a really nice car - like and Audi A8 - but she really thinks we need a truck.

I know it's a different trim package just paid $25k for a 13XLT with the ecoboost and about 27k on the odometer. That was in the St. Louis area.
That's a ton of miles on a vehicle that's only 5 years old. Way too much in my mind. I agree with the gent from Beantown.
I just saw the next post, why would you pay that much for only 20,000 fewer miles? If your 04 is in good shape, I would keep driving it if it were me. Car payments suck.

For some reason, I have new car fever right now, but I am entirely too cheap to actually get a 'new' car.
Funny, back when I could not afford a car, I always had a car payment, usually on a new car. Now that I can easily afford one, I don't want it!

I went most of my life without a payment because I had crappy credit and some pretty low paying jobs right out of college. Now that I drive a newer vehicle I enjoy not doing anything other than oil changes but hate that $400 that goes to the credit union every month.
Make the payment to yourself, then go pay cash for something when the time is right. Or, if you really HAVE to have something, go buy a weekend car, and keep the truck for when you need it or don't want to drive the toy. That platinum may be a newer truck, with newer tech, but it's had a butt in the drivers seat for almost as much time as your truck, and has almost as much (perhaps more) wear on it as yours. I can't imagine there aren't better trucks at better prices in TX. If there aren't, you could easily justify traveling for a better deal. Be patient and the right one will come along.
