what do you think?

so i've been keeping my eyes open for a newer style f150. i've looked all over for one that i like for a decent price, talk about a difficult task lol. but my local car dealership finally got one in, and its pretty much exactly what i want. its an '04 f150 supercab 6 1/2 ft. box. 43,000 miles, has the 5.4, and power everything. they're asking $19,000. blue book value is around 22. so what do you guys think? do you think theres a reason for why its so cheap?

I'd run a Carfax on that if I were you.

I'd guess something not covered by warranty (like a crash that tweaked the frame) is at issue.

Wow, $19K is cheap. That's almost 10 times what I've paid for anything except the Prizm (my only new vehicle).

well if it was a ford dealer, it would be closer to the $22,000. now if someone traded it in to a non ford dealer, they probably just want to get it sold since it cant be certified preowned. and yes, sure theres something to do with warranty.

My dad got an 07, 4dr fx4 5.4 power everything and it was 32k. I would think your price would be a little higher also.

yeah i've been thinking the same thing. usually the ones i find for around that price have about 80,000+ miles on them. but this isn't a ford dealership its at... so it could have something to do with that i guess. i still have to go talk to the guys and test drive it and such, so hopefully i'll be able to do that on tuesday or wednesday when i'm not so busy. i'll let you know if i find anything out about it.

Don't bother paying for a Carfax IMO. They're nothing but

For fun we ran one on our C2500 when we bought it brand new and the report said it was on it's third owner and had been in a wreck.

A friend of mine works at a Nissan dealership and he's had tons of trouble with the accuracy of the reports.

Not worth the 27 or what ever bucks. IMO
