thinking about a new truck, lifted and pics!

I posted up another truck the other day but this seems to be a better deal..I think. Tell me what you guys think.

Here is his listing...it is an 04 f150 lariat,6 in pro comp sus lift,new 35in tires & 17in wheels,fully loaded power everything & sunroof & back glasss,heated leather,6 disk changer,power pedels,bed cover 5.4 auto,95k miles.

Other stuff I know about the truck, almost new tires about 500 miles on them, the lift is 1 year old. The plugs were changed 10 months ago, he is the 3rd owner. He doesn't have anything to help the mileage, SO that would be the first thing on the list. I would do cold air, and a chip for now. He currently gets 13 city and 16 highway, does that sound right? What could I get if I added the cold air and chip?
The tires are fierce attitude M/T from goodyear, anybody know anything about these?

He said he would do 14k, I am trying to get him down to 13k

Looks like he kept it in pretty good condition. Although i've never seen a lariat with black leather and no console shift??

Definitely has a leveling kit along with the 6" lift. Notice the upper control arms/ball joints are at a pretty extreme angle and the front of the truck sits higher.

Yeah I agree, But you can't say that about ever truck, 9/10 lifted trucks aren't going to be garbage

I know, but just be careful looking at modded trucks. You seem to pay attention to important things to begin with which is good. I'd bring it to someone that can inspect it for you before you buy it. Any knowledgeable friends on lifts?

ehh, I had 2 lifted colorados, One with a 5in lift and the other one just had the tb's cranked and shackles. So I know a decent amount. But not many friends that know much.

Nice truck but I agree with Truckguy. I want to buy a truck that isn't lifted yet. Good Luck with your buying your truck!

Btw.... who do you root for?

I don't think an intake and a chip are going to do much for your mileage... I get an average of 12 mpg both city and highway with an intake and tunes. has it been regeared?
