I am looking at getting a 97' f150 and would like some opinions. I am planning to go see this truck tomorrow, It is a '97 4x4 with 139k...
Posting states.... "new ball joints 500 miles ago, newer brakes, power windows, tilt, cruise, cd player, a/c. 139,000 miles, truck runs excellent"

Asking 3500 obo... I was thinking of offering closer to 3000 if i like it.

I am not seeing an attachment option for pics, so here is a link to the ad.

it's a 4.2 equipped truck???

have you checked the KBB or NADA value???


ask for some undercarraige pics, it's from the rust belt so I bet it's pretty rusty

 

Yeah im guessing its the 4.2 V6... On KBB and Nada both are around 3000 for good/average...

It looks good in the pictures and i don't see any rust... I'm gonna go see it tomorrow so if there is hidden undercarriage rust, should i pass on it??

 

things like shackles and exhaust will rust first. look for underbody rust.

 

Welcome to our site, Wilson. Truck appears to be in decent shape. Don't forget a Carfax report before buying... Best wishes

 

Truck was not in good shape... and full of rust.
