 | I just Bought my 1st truck my 1st car ever was a 1989 Ford Escort (had for 6 months) my 2nd was a 1988 Buick Skyhawk (had for 1 yr) my 3rd was a 1987 Delta '88 (Oldsmobile I think... had it about 1 year) my 4th was a 1997 Plymoth Neon (7yrs) my 5th and latest vehicle is a 2005 Ford F150 it has 40k miles and so far I love it... only had it less than a week but no regrets so far It is a V6, 2 door, Long Bed, Automatic Tranny, 2wd w/ standard features (manual locks, windows) it has AC and C.Control, AM/FM radio w/ XM radio hook-up They were asking $12K but I bought it for $11,5 Do you guys think that is a good deal? I like the truck...miles above everything else I've ever had |

| Also, it took $50 to fill the tank.... I assume it gets around 15-18 mpg Is that about right? |

| ehh, def a possibility that you overpayed, my brother's truck a 2000 silverado (my avatar) had 50k miles on it when he bought, had a 5.3 v8 with hypertech programmer, rims, had power windows and locks, alarm system and he ony paid 9k for it, now im not all that sure where you live but the only real difference is the year, and the fact that you see alot more people wearing bow-tie's on their necks then big blue ovals  congrats on the purchase though

| That sucks that I overpaid.... The Kelly's Bluebook value is $13.7k so I thought I was getting a good deal... I still like it though. I'm just not a bargain shopper I guess |

| You didn't over pay. You can't compare Chevys to Fords or apples to oranges. The price you payed is probably about right. You coulda shopped around for awhile to save a little, but if you love the truck then you did the right thing by picking it up when you did. As far as the Chevy with all of the doo-dads, once a vehicle is personalized it makes it harder to sell. You can't really tack on the cost of aftermarked add ons. That's why your brother got it for a good price. You need to find the right person with the same taste. How far did the seller come down from his original asking price? If it was for sale for awhile you'll never know what he started out at. Just my 2 cents...  |
