Just about to be a F-150 owner again!!!

I drove 116 miles through hellacious snow to look at this truck....

$1,300 (Jewed the guy down from $1,500)
1992
F-150 Custom
300 I6/ 5 Speed
2x4
Standard cab/Long bed
Midnight Blue/Grey Interior
164,xxx miles

Little thing SCREAMS......Absolutely wonderful to drive....Goes through the gears as smooth as a knife through warm butter...lol

The Cons-
Will need a fender
Will need rear wheel arches replaced
Needs cleaned ASAP
Has a bad lower balljoint.....It has a new one in the seat....

What do ya'll think?

I'm not trying to give the guy too hard a time.
The thing of the goyim getting only $200 off is no where near even being worthy of the term.

I guess the point is he talked the owner down but there are a hundred ways to say it , Lord knows I'm not perfect either.

I just wanted to poke a little fun at the same time but some how it didn't come out so good on "paper".
I bet anything the seller got what he wanted. I always inflate the price of anything I sell to get what I want. That way both parties are happy.
Another thing if I can't buy something without some bargaining, I'll just walk away.

I sincerely apologized to anyone of that nationality that may be, even in the tiniest part, offended......Wasn't sure on the proper spelling......And it turns out that the guy really needed the cash....and the $200 I didn't have to pay allows me to beautify the truck $200x more....

Wes, looks like you got a heck of a deal there, we've moved on so no worries, it takes a solid member to admit that & I'm sure it was not your intention to offend, 'nough said.

That is a very nice truck. Looks like it has an Add-A-Leaf?

It looks like my old work truck but yours doesn't have the peeling paint mine did. Great truck. Check to see if it has the 2G or 3G alternator. It also had the handling package, dual tanks, no A/C, and blue interior. It was recently retired after a rod let go when the driver thought the oil gauge didn't work. (Doh!)
Nice find. I like the 5 speed much better with this engine than the auto.
regards
