2001 F-150 4.2 6 CYL SuperCab
274K miles -and about to replace the intake manifold - tranny is starting to pull a bit at hi-way speed - 60-70 mph - I have to decide if tranny should run till it gives up or rebuilt now - decisions, decisions......
Repairs : starter, alternator, gas line, 2 batteries, belt, left upper control idle arm...cruise control just gave up the ghost.
Tires: OE Generals, Toyos, Goodyear Triple threads, Michelin MS2,.........
Just got minor body work and new paint job - original black.
Mostly highway driven and still gets 19.5 mpg hiway and 17 city.
She's been a good girl.

Last owner lived around Rochester, NY. Carfax showed 24,000 miles traveled in the first year and 20,000 traveled in 2010, so other than for those two years It sat in someone's driveway. Deals can be had, just have to watch out for them and be willing to drive 100-150 miles to get it.

Bought it 12/7/12 new Pittsburgh, PA. Found it on AutoTrader, made some calls and drove it off the lot within 48 hours. It was priced slightly under book value and they offered a really good trade in price on my '04 2.3 Ranger.

Ohh, so you bought it only a month ago. Dang can't beat that man. Shoot, down here in Louisiana everything is over priced and not in the best condition, lol. If you were to sell that truck right now I'd probably drive up to wherever you are to get it, lol. I might have even driven to New York to get it with only that many miles on it for under KBB value. Again, that's a great find my friend.
Heck everything I own is for sale at the right price.
