I got a really good deal on my '06 that I bought in September. I paid just under $17k for it and it had a little over 21k miles on it. It's a 2WD which will bring the price down a little, but it still was a great price.

 

bought my 06 lariat CC 4x4 v10 39k miles last may for 20k. Searched autotrader for over a month, Ended up driving 400 miles to buy my truck

I LOVE IT

 

Your dilemma is why I ordered mine. Get exactly what you want when spending this much money. Of course I'm super picky and wanted every option I ordered and wouldn't be happy any other way.

 

Ordering a truck exactly how wanted is great but at a cost. The used V10s I see for sale are a couple years old with under 30k on them are almost half the price of a new one. Makes ya think....

 

Thats how mine was....1 year old and 20,000 miles on it. Almost half price of a new one. I will never buy a new vehicle unless I win the lottery. You lose so much when you drive it off the lot for the first time.

 

Friend of mine just got an 04 4x4 extended cab dually V-10 Lariat 16,000 miles for $16,500, from a Ford dealer. Seemed like a pretty good deal to me, was it?

 

sounds a tad high to me..

thats US$ i assume ?

but it should be in fantastic shape for so low miles...

 

Currently there is a 2007 KR V-10 for sale in El Paso, which might too far away for you. Check Auto Trader for it.

 

Yes, it is in fantastic shape. Kelly Blue Book (KBB) was about $22k. Not sure how applicable KBB is though.

 

My biggest V10 problem is getting someone to work on it. I have a 98 E350 van with a V10. I need someone to change the spark plugs. I have a thread on the subject...
No I did not go to the dealer. I heard bad things about the local dealer and figure they will want a fortune to fix it. I'm retired, fixed income, don't have a fortune to spend on it...

yea, they build them ugly ones now

 

Sounds like a good deal to me considering the truck is more than likely like brand new.


I bought my 04' new and only considered buying new because I'm going to have my current truck well over 10 years. Can get smoking deals on used trucks which is what makes them worth looking at especially if they have low miles. Buying new is great but buying a brand new or even used vehicle every couple years is downright stupid to me. Made more sense many many years ago.

 

One thing I noticed is people tend to hold onto the v10s. If you look at the folks here a lot of us have had the same truck for a while.

My biggest problem is that if I am trying I cannot break the rear tires loose except sometimes when I really want her to dig in and go fast (trying to make a left in front of traffic for example) I hit the pedal just right and the tires start spinning! If I just floor it it digs in and goes but if you have a hesitation sort of get on let off and hit it I think the drive by wire gets confused. Funny thing is I cannot duplicate it at will it has to be timed just right,

 

I Agree.... Any Vehicle that has Drive by Wire....it can act just plain goofy at times... I have a hard time not spinning at any traffic light and I dont know why.
