ok, so im lookin to buy my first truck its a four door 2002 king ranch eition ford f-150 the only set back is that it has 165,000 miles should that keep me from buying it?

 

no it shouldnt stop you but you need to get some records for maintence from the po and youll also need to keep in mind the condition of the leather and how they have been taken care of.

 

ok thanks any specfic things i should look for that hint at wear and tear as far as the engine or transmission goes? i can visually check the interior

 

How much are they wanting for it? Does the truck look like it has 165K on it? If not, thats usually a sign its been at least somewhat taken care of. You can also request them to take it to a Ford dealership and have them check it out as if they were going to sell it as a used car themselves. I've done this on 2 vehicles I've sold in the past for their buyers.

 

asking 7500 but i got em down to 6500 the truck looks as if its in prety good shape but im no mechanic my uncle (a mechanic) is goin with me tomorrow to look at it in some more detail... and how much doyou think it would cost me to get some flomasters or some other good sounding exaust or it. the truck currently has dual exaust but not magnaflows or anything

 

that sounds like a really good deal. assuming the truck has the 5.4 correct? what color. any pics.

on the mufflers you can get a new muffler or two for about 40 each and then have the ones in there now replaced cheap.

 

ya t has the 5.4 and i will have pics tomorrow but none right now..and sorry can u explain that mufler thing? ha i dont know what u mean but its maroon

 

i am also going to lift it which brings up the question suspension or body??

 

you said it has dual exhaust now but you want to change the muffler. that would run you about 40-80 bucks in parts plus the install of swapping the mufflers which wouldnt be that expensive.

if this isnt what you want just let me know if im getting confused haha

 

2wd or 4wd

 

he said it has dual exaust but i just thought it was the stck...i didnt reallly know and 4 wheel drive

 

since its a 4wd id just level it if its not already and then do a 3" BL with 35"s

 

ok thanks and ill put some pics up tomorrow please come back and lemme know what you think ha thanks again

 

will do

 

I bought my lariat with 145k miles.....runs great, just check it over good make sure no motor noises, check the color of the trans fluid and if its sticky or not, look over the drivers seat..my interior is immaculate, new floor mats and seat has no rips just some wear marks..
