Running Them Down
I bought my 07 Ford F-150 FX4 with 17,000 miles on it. I got the truck for $21K.. and my girl got her 07 Ford F-150 STX with 13,000 miles on it for $12,500. . . What i am trying to say is people are lookin to get rid of the 04-08 years for cheap.. and when they first came out they wanted regular price of $32K - $40K... Now you can get them like $10K less.. with low mileage.. the truck you are referencing to you should be able to get it for $10K easily.. or don't take it.. dealers got the same truck somewhere with lower miles...

ohhh ok, but usually bank sells them out from people who couldn't pay off their loan and they reposses the car, then auction it off to pay off the difference of what they basically "lost"
up here, they have that too... but my father just purchased a 2007 Mercedes E350 with 20k miles on it for 27,500... where brand new, sticker price was roughly $53,000. and there is nothing wrong with the car, it rides beautifully and all... but he did manage to scrape off a side amber reflector on the garage door the first week he got it lol

thanks for all of the info guys. Not sure where most of you are located, but here in KY, $13,000 is a decent price for an 04 SuperCrew FX4 with 120,000 miles. Kelley Blue Book on it is $13,900. The delaerships here want $17k-$18 for an 04 with 90,000-100,000 miles. Maybe I need to come to where some of you are and buy.

Also when looking for a vehicle, I cannot stress enough to look more then in just your local town. IE if you are willing to travel up to 5 to 10 hours to go pick one up, your horizon's will expand dramatically. And unless you need it NOW, take your time and look til you find one that is exactly what you want for the price you can afford...

The only thing that bugs me about higher milage trucks these days isn't so much the motor or tranny, its all the damn squeeks and rattles over every bump you hit! Just got my Screw with 42k miles from Carmax 1 owner local trade in and its still silent as a vault. Ford did well with this interior...
