I found an extended cab 04 fx4 f150 with 38,000 miles on it. It has the 5.4, sun roof, rear slider, cloth, and brand new tires. I have looked at it and it is spotless. The body is smooth, you can tell it has always been waxed. I found one little tiny chip on the bed, you really have to look to find it. The interior is also clean. I talked to the guy and the absolute lowest he will go is $20,500. Is this a good deal?

Thanks

 

I know someone has some input.

 

Sounds about right, what's KBB say?

 

$20,250 is Excellent condition on kbb.

 

sounds about the right price, my dads 04 f150 fully loaded laritat screw 4x4 with 85,000 miles is about that same price so that is the right price...

 

Not a bad deal, but KBB is always a little high, and less than 5% of vehicles fall under their "excellent condition". A good price to look at is the "good" and go with that. Also, owning an 04 fX4 myself with 60k on it, i'd advise away from an 04 and try for an 05. My 04 has most of the goofy quirks that the 04's are known for. JMO, good luck

 

KBB is different for vehicle's some high/some low. For example KBB said that my 14,000 mile show car condition mach1 was worth $16,000 and the MSRP on the car when it came out was $28,500. It was basically saying the car depreciated 50% in 3 years!!! So you can't always trust the KBB...

 

I think 20,500 would be a good deal if you can get the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty with it. Personally, I'd never buy a new or used vehicle without a nice warranty.

 

I would say that $20,500 is too much, either that or I got a smoking deal when I bought mine in Jan of 06. I paid $19,XXX for my 04 F150 FX4, supercab, flareside, with leather, flowthru console, power pedals, deluxe mirrors, power seat, TT package, only 30,000 miles, and like I said this was about 16 months ago.

A local dealer has basically the same truck (FX4, supercab) that you are looking at but an 05 with 35,000 miles for $19,000.

 

What would be a good price to offer him? 19,000, 19,500, or what?

Thanks

 

If you really like the truck and you are happy with the price, then buy it. But if it were me buying, I would say 19,000. But thats just me. I look at it this way, there are always more trucks out there.

Good luck with what you decide!

 

On the high side, I think. I paid $24K for my '04 Screw Lariat , LOADED. 5.4L, Moonroof, leather, heated seats, power slider, tonneau cover, rhino liner,audiophile, power pedals, 4X4 and a year of warranty left still. 16K miles on it in Nov. of '06.

 

Offer less than you are willing to spend. If you want it for $19500. offer $18000. Then you have room to negotiate. If it was me, I would look for an 06 and up. I like those better.

 

I agree, it does seem a tad bit high. However, if its "the one", and you are really ecstatic about it, you probably aren't too far in terms of price. I'd think you'd be closer to 19 or 19.5K for that truck in superb condition.

If it isn't "the one", then I'd say keep looking.
