#3 is a nice truck, but it is screaming for different tires, and is pretty high on price for what it is.

For the money, I think I would go for #1 unless you really have a reason to get a crew cab.

I don't mind the tires, I'm more concerned with just getting the truck. I don't really have a reason in getting a CC other than the room. Of course, anything is going to have more room than a RC :lol:

All 3 are overpriced and #1 just looks stupid. I hate the 5.5' bed on a Supercab.

Plug changes are anywhere from $450-800 depending on how many break. I called a bunch of dealers to get quotes. My truck is at 89k and runs fine so Im leaving the plugs alone for a while.

Cam phasers are only an issue on '04 and '05 F150's. '06's dont have that problem.

I cant see financing a truck with over 100k for as much as that dealer is asking. Keep in mind youd be financing it for 4-6 years. Figure out how many miles you drive a year and how long of a loan youd need. You could easily end up with a 200k mile POS by the time its paid off.

I bought my '06 2 years ago and financed it for 6 years. It had 48k and I drive 17-20k miles per year so even with relatively low mileage (especially considering what youre looking at) I figure its going to have around 160k when its paid off. Right now its at 89k.

I like the truck.. But may still be overpriced for being an 04'

Interior still looks good, a little dirty from the pics, but pretty good. Still will have to deal with plugs and possible cam phasers... But god looking truck

The more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards the white one. Although the black one is super clean, it's a little out of my price rance and would probably run me a higher monthly payment. the only difference between the two is color and trim level. everything else is the same

Offer them about $16k for the white one, they will haggle around some, but you can probably pick it up for $16.5k which isn't terrible based on the ones you have been posting. It looks like a really nice truck. Good luck! :fingersx:
