Should of looked at Jersey Craigslist a little under a year ago. I had my 04 with 5x,xxx miles on it. Was just looking for pay off, which was 12.5. Mine was FX4, leather, center shift, etc......

I will say that for months after I sold it, I had people calling me up asking if it was still for sale, dissapointed, and saying that they should of bought. I guess truck prices went back up, and people trying to save an extra 1k missed out.
Take MXRACER's advice, if it is the truck you want, get it. If it is not, then wait until you find the one you want. It will come around.

Tylus is correct too. People always list high, b/c they know nobody is going to pay the "asking price". People just like to brag about the "deal" they just got, even though most the time is wasn't that amazing.

bought my 06 a year ago for 16,800 with only 24,000 on the clock... it was stock, but CLEAN... bought at a Syracuse dealer...

edit: i had to look everywhere for that deal.... my favorite ford dealer wanted 21,000 for the same exact truck.. i laughed at him, but he wouldnt budge...

I just got it Saturday, and love it so far! It was dirty, but in great shape. I've been cleaning it all weekend, and under all the dirt and TONS of dog hair in the rug, there is a great truck in great condition. It took me hours to just get all the dead bugs off the front of it. I guess they weren't into cleaning much, but other than that they took care of it I guess.

$3k under private party book value, so I'm pretty happy. Still been looking around just for the hell of it, and NOTHING is under $15k. *shrug*

I just bought the exact same truck with 68k miles for 14,500. I don't know where these guys find the deals either. I seriously checked craigslist,cars.com,autotrader.com and others every other day for nearly 2 years looking for my truck and i found better deals then what i got, but it was trucks with 4 or 5 owners and had been in as many states as you can count. I paid a little more for mine but i got a one owner truck with few flaws. If it is in good condition and its what you want i say pull the trigger . I did and i have 0 buyers remorse
