Found mine during a drive by! Sticker was $18,900 and got her for $14,400 with a high milage/worn out 07 explorer trade. She was in mint condition with only 54k on it. the dealer had all the carfax reports (one owner) and service records. The original window sticker and info. was in the glove box. Also had like new tires. Had it about 4 months now and love it! She runs like a top and is as clean under her as her paint job. She also came with "two" remotes for auto start. Really nice on hot and cold days

Was looking for a truck as my first car. I wanted one, and my parents were satisfied that it was big enough so if I wreck it, I won't get beat up as bad as I would if I was in a little sports car. Saw mine of craigslist, and showed my parents. My dad went and got it and test drove it when I was in class one day, I came home, and it was in the drive way, he told me to take it for a spin, and I got in and saw the stick.. I rolled down the window and yelled DAAADDD! I dunno how! Lol, it was funny as hell.
But he taught me how to handle it, and I fell in love after a few trips around the block. Little frusuration, lots of held up stop lights, and my dad bought it for me that day. Made me the happiest little **** on earth. Still am to this day. I see all these kids that drive their cars around like **** that their parents bought, god damn. I wash my truck every single saturday, and baby that thing. I swear theres atleast one accident a week in my schools parking lot. Plus, kids always bitch their mom/dad didn't buy them a newer model, or the right color. I love my truck.
Sorry for the novel.. lol

I was out looking for an '07 lariat f150 at a dealership and came up empty. After twenty minutes in the lot a salesman finally figured out was I was doing. He asked me what i was looking for and drove me to another dealership (owned by the same owner) to find the truck I was interested in. After a 15 minute drive and another half an hour we couldn't locate the truck... Back at the original lot we went to look at an '07 XLT where some idiot decided to modify unprofessionally when I came across my '10 FX4. The price was right and it was what I really wanted. As a plumber I know how customers are usually rude and I figured auto consumers where the same. Me and the salesman found common ground and he got me a deal I couldn't refuse. Very happy with my truck

I was searching for a while to find an extended cab truck with an 8' box. Apparently not all that common. I got turned on by Ford when I got a SVT Contour last year, so I was looking specifically for an F-150, mind you if a decent ram or shibby came along at the right price I probably would have bit. Anyhoo, I was checking out kijiji before work, and found an ad too good to be true, so I sent the guy a mail. Checking email on my android all day at work and then he got back to me. Went the next day to see it and there she was sitting on a concrete pad on a farm.
After I looked her over, and a little drive around the farm to confirm important stuff worked, I haggled a bit with the farmer. Ended up taking her home for $700. He even tossed a bottle of meguire's headlight pollish.
