Is this Ford F150 4x4 a good deal?

davbell22602 · Apr 25, 2010

1998 F150XL tritin supercab longbed, 4.6L v8, Automatic transmission 4wd, 221,xxx miles for $3900/bo. Looks good and seats little dirty. But it va state safety inspection and registeration expired 3/2010 because he bought a new truck. Thought about offering 3500 for it. Kelly Blue Book has 3800 for excellant and 3600 for good condition in private party value.

if you're comfortable with the miles, I think I'd throw 3300 or 3400 and see how he reacts.

miles are a bit high,
i agree with the 3300 area maybe even lower than that.

The high miles doesn't bother me at all. As long as it gets me to point A to point B thats all I'm worried about. But I'm kinda concerned about how much life of the drivetrain, trany, transfer case, engine etc. has left if the hasn't already been replaced. The owner used it for personal construction business. What kind of MPG should I expect to get on this truck?

I have friend that knows some people that have the newer f150's and he said there over 300,000k or around 400,000k with no problems yet and still running.

personal work truck, i assure you its been worked hard and put up wet.
I would look else where, im sure the trucks drive line has been well used and will likely start needing fixing soon.

This all I found thats under 4k that I can afford thats fullsize for that's 95 or newer . Ford or chevy truck also.

I'd find an older one, since they have almost all the same comforts and are cheaper.

I'd definitely pass on that truck...my guess says he bought a new truck for a reason. Personally, I'd say the drivetrain is at the end of its life span, especially considering the life it more than likely had.

davbell22602 · Apr 26, 2010

I found one just like it at dealer for $5300 with 148,000 miles. Its 1998 also.

Come on down across the border to NC...I'll put you on a dozen good trucks from 95-2003 under 5k in about an hour.
