Howdy.

That sounds like a fairly solid truck for the money. Awful lot of new stuff though...I'd press the owner some more, find out why he's replaced all that stuff, has it been sitting up for a while? Or was he just trying to be a good guy, fixing it up to sell to someone as a good truck?

hi, welcome

Good luck with your potential purchase. I hope it's exactly what you're looking for.

And Quintin, I've done that myself before. Start earning more money, start fixing up my truck, dump a bunch of money in it and then get an itch for a new truck. I put over $1000 in my Ranger in the 6 months before buying my F150.

Hi!! Sounds like a pretty decent truck but I'm with Quintin, I'd try to find out why he sank so much money in it right before selling. Could be innocent but he also could be trying to cover something up.

Good luck and welcome to F150online!!
