You have made a very wise decision. I love black trucks (I own one). However, with the Ford paint being of the quality is it, you'll be hurting in a few years from the regular wear and tear...

Nothing beats red for finish. You can buff just about anything out! Also, the 10k less mile and $1,000 less purchase price are definite pluses.

 

go with the 04, I love my sunroof, and reverse sensors and I hate red, the milelage doesnt matter that much, but I would talk him down on the price and get the 04.
