in my opinion it's not too many miles for the truck - but it is too many miles for the asking price. I think 4-5 thousand would be a fair price if the body is in good shape. That's a lot of miles and you could find a similar truck with 100-150 on it for the same price.

I second that, way too high of an asking price for tat many miles. Maybe that much money for a truck with 100,000 miles.

Would have to agree with everyone on here.....I got mine for 8700 with 100,000 or so on the ticker......that is way to high for the miles.

price does seem high as mentioned. You could check the KBB for private sales. I picked up this super cab f150, 64k miles, 5.4 with tow package, 33s no lift for $4300 about 18 months ago. Recently picked up the wheels and tires for $700.

First question, has the dealer run a carfax on it? It looks to be in good shape. Those miles are high but it could be highway mileage. These mod motors are great motors and they will run forever if maintained properly. I have a 96 Ford Mustang GT also that I bought with 138000 miles on it. The odometer was broken when I bought it so no telling how many miles were actually on it. After driving the car 50000 miles on it, I broke down and got serious with it. That being said, with that high of mileage you will be looking at replacing parts on it. Shocks, tie rods, etc. etc... To reiterate, the first thing you need to do if you are serious about is look at KBB and see what the blue book price is and also either run a carfax or see if the dealer has run a carfax.
