If the Oasis checks out good, try to negotiate for the Ford ESP 7yr/200k with it. Its well worth the peace of mind, and can pay for itself with just one visit to the shop for these trucks, as they are expensive to fix when they break. Maybe they won't go for it since it is an 04, but worth a try. At least get yourself some kind of warranty with it. For example, I had HPOP replaced on my dime last April, ESP would have covered it, but the aftermarket warranty co. I have DID NOT. That was a $2400 bill. I just had 4 injectors replaced( $369 ea, not installed) and alt/FICM 2 wks before Christmas, $3700. Don't let me scare you as thats not what I'm trying to do. Just so you know how much things can cost. I still LOVE my truck, even though she's had a few hiccups in the last year. HTH

This time of year I dont think you would pay 22k for that truck for in NE. If you wait till spring you might find one on a fire sale? I bought mine in the summer and the market was a little depresses but guarentee I could make money on it now. I paid a little less for mine its an 05 with 106k Its got all the options except uplifter switches. Good luck its a good lookin trk.

Nice looking truck. I would have to agree though that the price is a little high for the year. Try looking for an 05 or newer with the built in brake controller and the upfitter switches. You will want to replace the trailer plug and get some leather conditioner on those seats asap.

Totally agree, I had that exact truck in 2004. Same color except, long bed.
I completely ruined it with the Edge box.
Wife was mad, she loved this trucks color.
Very good looking, price is not out of line for an honest truck.
