Buying Help Please

Hey guys, thanks for helping!

Been searching for several weeks for a 05 or newer SuperCab in white or silver with under 100k miles and hopefully under 80k miles.

Budget is 13k including taxes, tag, etc. In Fl, that puts me at about 12k as a top line number.

At this point looking for a Lariat so that I have leather. It just stays nice longer and I plan to keep it for 100k miles or more.

I found this one and it seems to fit all the criteria so I will call this morning.

2006, white lariat with 75k miles for $11,500.
FORD F-150 LARIAT -

Trouble is that I am in Tampa area and this one is in Miami. Since I have fairly narrow criteria, I have been looking across all of FL. The worry I have is to spend about 4 hours driving to just look and if something is not right, I have wasted that time but on the other hand, I have learned that when the right think pops at the right price...

The price seems to be 1000-1500 less than most everything else I have seen that usually has 25-50k more miles although I am not sure they are selling for that much anyway. Those are the ones that are sitting on CR or Autotrader for a while. KBB puts this one at $11,700

Have any thoughts? Anything I should watch out for?

Thanks.

Thanks, finally got the vin and it turns out the seller has only had the truck for a few months and there was a recent accident and another accident a few years back. The short ownership is a major red flag and don't want any accidents. Passing on this one
