Looking to buy a high mileage..
Looking to buy a higher mileage f150. There are some to choose from, 80-100k range. Going to drive them all tomorrow and see how each is. My question is, should there be anything I should look for that stands outs? The cars have been power washed from top to bottom so ill check for leaks as best as I can...but otherwise not too sure.
When I traded in my 2009, it was high mileage. Here are the service items that the truck needed when I traded it:
1. Front ball joints - a few loose front ball joints could have been replaced
2. Cam phasers - 5.4L engine, needed replaced.
3. Brakes - Brakes were good, but would check them out for sure.
4. Fluids - Transmission fluid had been changed due to leaking grommet on transmission pan, but otherwise all fluids were still original
5. Steering wheel buttons - I wore out the radio buttons flipping channels. Check to make sure they all work well, and aren't worn out
6. Battery - If you are looking at an 09, battery is 4+ years old, have it load tested
