Advice on truck
 
I have available a silver 2006 f-150 4 door short bed for 7,000. It is
a leased vehicle for a company that my dad works at and has 136,000
miles on it. Is this a good deal? Are these dependable? My curent
truck has 315,000 on it and it is a king cab without the doors. It
wouls be nice to be able to have the extra doors to haul the kids
around.

In the interest of confession, I'm a Chevrolet man.
However..... I'd want to buy a Swap Sheet, or Auto Trader,
and see what others are asking. Probably cost you three
bucks. NADA blue book may also have online look up.

That's the exact truck I use for my daily driver. Nice vehicle. I'd want
more than 7K for mine.

Anything more than a baseline "stripper" is worth more than 7 grand
unless it's been beat on pretty bad.

2 minutes of research on ebay say it's a good deal if it's in nice
shape.

I am getting close to buying it. It is gray which is not my favorite
color but the price is right.

With 138,000 miles, how long can I get out of this truck do you think?
I believe it has the small v8 engine. (4.6 L maybe???)

How well will you take care of it, how much can you repair?

If that were local to me, I'd be on it like a duck on a June bug!

I bought my current Ford truck with 192K miles on it, for $4500.
Now at 223K (?) and still runs like new.

If you don't mind an older truck, I'd hold out for something cheaper.
I paid $4200 for a 12 year old F250 with 79K, no problems and not a
speck of rust.

He's going to haul his family around with it - finding GOOD older
trucks at a reasonable cost in about 75% of North America is like
finding a needle in a haystack.
Either they've had the snot driven out of them by some kid, they've
had the tail worked off of them or beat to heck as a working truck,
they've been abused and neglected, or they've rusted away.

And yet they are available if you can afford to be patient. I found
mine here in coastal Maine, which is about as bad as it gets for road
salt and rust.
