I bought my 04 fx4 super crew 1 year and 2 months ago for $18,000.
It is has everything but leather and a sunroof and only had 36,000 miles on it. It is excellent shape with no problems. Keep in mind that this was just before the truck market took the big plunge.

this one seems like it takes a while to get going. Is this all f150's or is there something wrong?

Tell them 12 or no deal and wait until they call you back. Work the game.....

They call back and say 14,000 you say 13,000 and you make the repairs....
