Hey, im new to the site and im looking to buy a new truck. I currently own a 99 F-150 156k miles and still running strong let me know what you think is a good price to offer for this truck. I test drove it and it runs great after market intake and lift please post what you think is reasonable for this truck thanks!

Cars.com: 2006 Ford F150 XLT

 

If it's a supercab 4x4 XLT It's waaaaay over priced. Retail on those is only $17.5. They're trying to get their money back on the upgrades. I'd never pay retail, so reallistically its at $15 or $16K truck.

 

Which motor does it have? Ad says the 5.4...but it's the stripped XLT. Kinda rare to find a 5.4 under the hood of a stripped XLT.


The lift kit is a big negative for me. It's just one of those things I pass on. Looks really nice though don't it.

Pro:
Con:


That price is extremely high for what the truck is. You can probably knock at least $5-6,000 off immediatly and start negotiating from about the $17-18,000 point IMO

 

just looked at the bed picture again. I'd avoid that puppy. the tailgate is bent, and the bed has seen some pretty good abuse


I think you can find a better truck for alot cheaper elsewhere...or even buy a brand new one for that kind of money...the 2009 rebates are pretty wicked right now

 

I did pop the hood and it is a 5.4L they told me they bought it at a ford auction and it was a lease that was repoed could be a positve or a negative. The tail gate does look dented in the photo but when i saw it it didnt look bad just some scrapes and scratches wich is what you get for not having a bed liner. I was thinking at started at 17K so im glad to hear what you guys had to say if theres anything else you see please do reply. The 5.4 does have K&N Intake and aftermarket muffler but no cat back exhaust. It does have all power windows including the extended cab windows and a 6 disc changer what options is it lacking that it could have?

 

the 5.4 motor, Tow package, and the 6-disc are the only options it has

XLT means power windows/locks...and usually Cruise Control



sorry, I've gotten spoiled by my FX4 with Luxury Package. I forget people don't need/want all the other goodies that are available




If you can grab it for $16-17,000...probably a good deal. Any more and I suggest you walk. F-150's are a dime a dozen. The only outstanding part of that truck is the Lift Kit...and you can lift any F-150 to match that for under $2,500 (lift+tires).


On the other hand, that lift kit just gives me the jitters. You never know how the prior owner babied...or more likely abused the hell out of it.

lol what are you guys talking about this is a ford forum, fords are working trucks of course the bed and tailgate are used if u cant handle a nice looking bed like that dont own a truck i hate all u goons who keep there trucks mint

 

I'm with Tylus... I use my truck for work hauling materials and such... I have done some stupid crap but never dented the tailgate to that extent... that looks like they had a pallet of concrete in the back and let it slide in to the gate by driving too hard with out a bedliner.... that tranny is probably not in the best of shape.

 

who mods a lease????

 

There is working a truck....and then there abusing a truck


The bed of that thing is beat to hell...IMO that a indicative of a truck that has abused. Little things that show how much (or little) they cared for the truck
