I predelivered my own truck so nobody else drove it except the 2 miles. Its cool to predeliver your truck and get paid for it.

Yes i am i guess. lol I shouldnt say this in here but i dont really care for Fords and said i would never own one again. Then i predelivered a F150 and fell in love. Sold my Dodge cummins and bought my screw last week. If people would go test drive them everyone would own one.

15 miles when I first looked at it. I ran out of time with the haggle proccess and had to pick my boys up from school. They insisted that I drive the new truck and come back. Ofcourse they kept the keys to my trade in. So, 50 miles later, I came back very displeased with the ride
and changing my whole opinion on buying this truck
I started haggling(sp) at 9:00 AM and drove my new truck home at 7:00 PM $500 LESS than my ORIGINAL offer.

About 250 on mine. They thought it was a dealer swap and that had been on their lot for a while since it was a black interior instead of tan, which nobody wanted in Austin. The 250 miles on a dealer swap sounded fine, but nobody wanting the black interior? That sounds crazy to me. Maybe I really am in the minority but I like the tax interior and LOVE the black. No comparison to me, but if no one else likes it that would help explain the great deal I got.

Mine had 250 miles (it also had a sticker saying the factory had tested it for 16 miles); guess a few dealer employees went to lunch a few times....I found a receipt from Long John Silver's from a few months back.
I was leary, but all seems well.

Off the lot, 125 miles. I noticed quite a few replies from folks that got thier's off the lot with under 20 miles. But the dealer I got mine from is in Austin Texas, the F-150s on his lot got a lot of test driving. None of them had under 100 miles.
