I was just hoping at least Sunday would be nice, that's the day we wanted to get out on the water, but looks like it's not to be. Oh well, may just have to wait til the following weekend!

Pat, what do you think a 1999 F150 with 68000 miles is worth. It is an extended cab, long box with a bed liner, tonneau cover, and looks pretty clean

Is it a 4x4? Leather? 4.6 or 5.4 engine?

4X4, cloth seats, not sure on the motor. it is at a make shift for sale by owner lot in front of the Wyoming department of employment that is two blocks from my house. The truck is really pretty nice. I was wondering what you thought, without KBB or other info.

Well, with that low of mileage, I'd say around 7-8 grand. I could be a little high, though. Depends on the motor too.

That is what I was thinking too. Kbb has $6500-7500 depending on options that I don't know unless I call the owner. He has it with a for sale sign for $9900 obo. I think he is about 3k high.

Well, he's probably going high at first to see if he can get that kind of money. Are you thinking of looking at it?

I think I will drive it. I would like something newer but the price of anything newer is just to much right now. I really shouldn't even be considering this one but it is a nice truck is bright red which is a good sales point.

Good Morning Wyoming! I'm not a red car person, but I really like my 97 when I saw it. Hey, if it's a good deal, and you can afford it Miles, why not?

I know I always ask high, then have wiggle room to negotiate.

If the truck is what you want, make an offer......Low ball it a little, and let he guy counter offer.
I would maybe offer say 6K, if your willing to pay 7K.

A friend just bought a used truck here.
It was advertised for $19,000...........He got it for $11,000
