Thinking about buying
I sold my 04 F150 RC XLT about 18 months ago and bought a motorcycle and a 95 F150.
Ive got the itch for something new and I want to drop down to 1 vehicle. I drive 5-8,000 miles a year so gas mileage isnt as big a factor for me as it is for others. When the weather permits I ride the bike, it gets about 40 mpg.
My plan is to sell or trade my 05 Mustang and the 95 F150.
About the only options I want are AC, CC, and AT. I would lower 3/5, install 20in Lincoln wheels, tint, and stereo.
The other creature comforts arent necessary. In fact I dont want the cloth seats, to hard to keep clean, and I would probley install leather take-offs anyway. V6 or V8 is fine, I dont tow and dont haul heavy loads.
So, should I look to buy now, wait a month or so and see if the incentives on the 08s get any better, or wait another year and see what kind of deal I can score on a 09.
I would like a SC but a RC would do the job, I dont want to spend more than about 20k.

4x4 or 4x2? guessing 4x2 since you're gonna lower it... I'd start looking now, and basically work the dealers in your area against eachother on trying to get the best deal possible. should take you 1-2 months tops, by the end of which dealers will be a bit down on 08 inventory but still plenty left...

The local Ford dealer has 08 RC XLs with the V6/AT/AC/CC for 16k. That doesnt seem like a good deal, this time last year the same truck was selling for 12.5k.
I guess I will wait a little longer.
