Ok here is the deal... The truck i have is a 91 XLT lariat 2wd 300/5speed regular cab.. has 270k+ miles on it.. I want an extended cab 4wd... The truck has served me well for many years and many miles but its time for an upgrade got 2 kids now so we cant all go somwhere in it and 2wd sucks... I want to spend less than 10k been looking at 98/99 f150 super cabs.. I dont want the 4.6 as every one i've drove wouldnt get out of its own way i'd hate to see how one would be if you actually tried to pull somthing... (sad when a v8 has less balls than a 6cyl) anyway i've found a 99 super cab 5.4/auto XLT tow package 120k perfect condition inside and out power everything cruise,tilt full guage set etc.. price is 10,250 i am thinking 8000/8500 would be more like it for this thing?? I see them on lots for more than that in worse shape but thats car lots.. This one is owned by an individual and i am only alowed $9000 on a 99' from my credit union (gotta pay sales tax etc also).. So i am thinking offer 8000 and see what happens.. Is it rediculous to offer that much? anything i should look for on a 99? As far as i could tell there wasnt a drop of anything ever leaking on it and the underside looked new no rust whatsoever.. inside of the bed didnt have as much as a scratch guy supposedly used it for a long commute.. Also i am thinking about 16/18mpg average would this be a wild expectation? dad has basicly the exact same truck with a 4.6 CAI and flowmasters and it gets solid 20mpg
