A Good Buy?

I got a quick scenario for y'all. Imagine yourself in the market for a clean, low-mile F-150 4x4 for a reasonable price. You come across a super clean '98 F-150 supercab flareside 4x4 with the 5.4L. Its got all the goodies, dressed in Lariat trim. To top it off only 42,000 completely legit miles. How does 11 grand sound? Did I get a good deal? I've been in a Ford truck drought for 3 years now, I couldn't pass it up. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

11K...I would of definately jumped on it...especially with that low of miles. Hell I paid 14k for my 02 with 81K on it and I felt like i paid too much with the miles.

It's really hard to say. It sounds like a good deal to me but every region and area is completly different in the pricing of trucks. did you check it on KBB or Edmunds? They are a good starting off point for pricing. Also did you get a CarFax?
