Hello all. I'm about to buy a used Ford F150. What a nice bucket! I just have some concerns about whether it is a wise purchase. I would like your advice on that

I have already looked at the car and as far as I can estimate (certainly not a car expert) it looks very neat. The seller is also a very nice guy, from whom I would dare to buy a car. I'm going to drive the car for business purposes.

Some info about the car. So the car is from 2017 and has 17,446 odometers on the odometer. It runs on petrol and there is a 120L gas tank in place of the spare wheel. I saw some minor damage in the rear hatch, for example, but nothing serious or things you wouldn't expect from this car. Test drive not yet done.

If I am going to take the test drive, what should I pay attention to and what should I definitely ask the seller?

Is this car even a good buy considering its age and mileage?

How much does this car cost approximately in terms of maintenance costs and insurance?

What is a reasonable price for this car?

Thank you in advance for your help! I'm a novice in this area and any info is welcome!

Greetings Machael.

 

Probably a good idea to tell others what country you reside because it will make a huge difference in what the value is. Here in the U.S. we have a system for vehicle values that likely won't match where you are. We use https://www.kbb.com as well as https://www.nada.org/nada/consumer-vehicle-values

If you're familiar with the price differences between here and I suspect where your at is Canada? You could use one of our border zip/area codes to gain some insight on what you should be paying from those two websites.

 

Yes, I am from the Netherlands. The car is impoted from Canada. Here is a link to the car: https://www.v8supercars.nl/voorraad/...guswaarde_f150
