110k miles. Truck looks like it's in excellent shape inside and out. 4WD. I know you're probably thinking the paint is hideous but its actually a bonus for me (USFS employee). Seller wants 4800 for it. What should I know about an old grandpas F150? How much should I actually pay?
Interior shot.
Not looking for a DD, just a weekend truck to drive up on dirt roads and go camping/offroading.

>4800
In my area that will get you a decent 97 or better f150 4x4.
Price seems high to me

I agree. It's in excellent shape, but still a truck that's almost got antique plates.
Does the owner know your in the USFS?
If not, you could try to argue about the color being ugly and lower it to 4000-4500
I find the paint color fantastic actually, I'm only suprised that it was offered in such a year for such a vehicle. Looks like they found some paint cans from the 60s in the factory.

But have you made it known to the seller you like the paint?
>>14585466
I'm not the OP.
>>14585469
My bad.
>>14585466
I haven't contacted the owner yet. The paint was custom done on USFS trucks up until the last few years. So the truck was never available with that color in a dealership.

I like the paint too. It gives the truck character.
Also the engine is the inline 6. I'm gathering that this is a pretty solid engine. Also looks clean.

Ok so you could try to argue about the paint, the owner doesn't need to know you like it. Bring it down to 4500 to 4000

The engine will still run when the truck around it doesn't even exist anymore.
Well I'm gonna take a look at it this afternoon. Thanks for the insight you savages.
>>14585485
that engine will die with the universe.
>>14585665
Survived by the OM603.
>>14585389
looks like it's in great shape
idk if it's worth $4800 for a base model. I think $2000-2500 is a better price for that truck.
I don't really know much about fords, so can't really help with that.
The TTB front axle is kinda shitty and will eat tires if it's not aligned correctly.
i also like the paint color...
I'm a chevy guy and $4800 would get you a nice fleet 2500hd that is twice the truck that f150 is, but I guess it depends on what you're need from it. That F150 will get decent gas mileage(about the same as a tacoma or smaller truck) and will haul a sofa or a tow a 5000lbs trailer if you need to. It won't tow 12,000 up eisenhower pass or carry 4000lbs in the bed though.
