Last night I test drove a pickup truck.

Its a 2003 Ford F150 King Ranch with 4WD, crew cab, leather interior, 5.4 Triton and 51,000 miles(one previous owner)

They want $15000 cash for it(which i can do easy)

Is this a good deal?

12/15/2006 7:28:09 AM

yes, its what you wanted to hear at least

12/15/2006 8:07:19 AM

thats a damn good price, below average trade in, but still a shitty truck

12/15/2006 8:13:51 AM

only shitty to someone who drives a chevy

12/15/2006 8:30:01 AM

those things are like 16k new

12/15/2006 9:23:49 AM

ranch? that's my fav. salad dressing

12/15/2006 9:27:32 AM

you guys a worthless
but he just called me and told me 14K out the door

my gut says something is bad wrong with this truck

12/15/2006 11:23:09 AM

take it to ford and have then inspect it. and let the guy pay for it.

12/15/2006 11:32:34 AM

seems like a good deal...my friend sold a 2002 w/92000 miles for $16k in june

12/15/2006 12:10:19 PM

its not a good deal cause ford sucks

12/15/2006 12:20:35 PM

i have talked some of my friends in the business who know more than TWW about it
(after looking at the Garage, im sure the janator over there knows more)

they seem to think its a good deal pending an inspection by my own mechanic,
which im going to do in a few hours

11,500-12k is a smoking deal

14k is meh

12/15/2006 2:18:08 PM

12/15/2006 3:47:15 PM

I SHIT ON YOUR IGNORANCE AND YOUR INABILITY TO SPELL JANITOR!!!

Why the fuck did you ask in here, then, scrotard?

I was workin' on Fords when you were shittin' in yer diapers. And I don't want one.

12/15/2006 7:16:46 PM

offer 13k and if he doesnt budge wait it out


its not a GREAT offer but if u could get it for 13 it would be, i just hate fords ever since I had the sport trac...the wiring on fords is terrible me thinks

personally if it was me id lowball the hell out of it for around 11-12 and then let him do the decision making.

this guy prolly put jonator on his resume, and he knows more

and i ask on every message board, cause usually the group as a whole is worthless
but a few people who know something will turn up, as they have

what makes you say that?

12/17/2006 2:59:34 PM

zxappeal, didn't I sell you a Ford carburetor and you said you liked Ford trucks?

12/17/2006 8:26:26 PM

OLD Ford Trucks, Wesley!

I love the old FE engines and the second-generation overhead valve straight sixes.

I also have a thing for the Y blocks and the Flatheads.

I'm not a big Triton fan, and the diesels are only so-so compared to the mighty CUMMINS. It's just a shame that Dodge has such shitty bodies.


The big thing that turns me off about Fords is the quality of their interiors and trim. Oh, and their automatic transmissions.

12/17/2006 9:01:11 PM

Updates?

12/17/2006 9:14:33 PM

Thats a good deal, thats about what the 2wd are selling for minus the king ranch package

driven any chevies lately?

12/17/2006 11:42:51 PM

Rental car quality.

12/18/2006 1:41:30 AM

i got it for 12.5

aside from needing new tires, its ok according to MY mechanic

12/18/2006 10:15:54 PM

damn, you were able to talk them down to $12.5K from $15K? Can you go with me next time I'm buying a car?

12/18/2006 10:32:46 PM

thats why im in sales

lesson 1:

the real key is acting clueless until the right moment

12/18/2006 10:43:14 PM

More like dont let the dealer walk all over you.

12/18/2006 11:02:20 PM

john huggard of bus 225 said that you should automatically take 15 percent off the sticker price when buying a car

12/18/2006 11:20:14 PM

huggard is a fucking prick, i dropped his class after one day

12/18/2006 11:25:10 PM

i wish i wouldnt have freaking took his class...its gonna end up hurting my gpa

12/18/2006 11:27:29 PM

its not hard to sell a car.

the guy probably really wanted $12K for it... and offered it for sale for $15K... so he acted like he was giving the truck away at $12.5 was a steal for whoever.


this way, both parties are happy

12/18/2006 11:28:26 PM

out of close to 200 credit hours i consider huggards bus 225 to be the most useful one. if you listen, he will tell you how to make money, especially retirement money.

12/18/2006 11:31:13 PM

yeah thats what my brother says, huggard has it all figured out

12/18/2006 11:45:48 PM

huggard is the man....this guy knows how to pinch every penny out of everything...i bet this guy is loaded

12/19/2006 12:24:00 AM

in class he said few times he is a multi-millionaire. one of the first advices i took from him is to increase my insurance to 100/300/100 as it is only $10-15 more per six months, but you get double coverage in case you get into some serious shit where you are at fault.

he gave an example when he was the insurance agent, how some guy hit a half semi truck full of luxury cars. damage in excess of 200k, because truck flipped over or something like that. insurance covered up to 100k, rest was on him. nobody got injured.
