That's seems like an awfully high price to me. That's nearly what my 2008 with 110k miles would go for. Mine is a 4x4 sport with the big factory console, pleather seats, wheels and tires etc.

it depends a lot on your area really, I bought my 02 stepside with 140K and it was 7k, couldn't find anything near that good anywhere else- as for if it's worth it compare it to others around you, have a mechanic look it over, check out the frame and floor pans for rust

it runs great, after I got it I threw on an alternator, did all of the fluids, going to do the shocks here in the next few months- It's a great truck, but it was well maintained by the previous owner

I bought my 02 with 148K on the clock for 7K, this was a 4x4 with the 4.0 and a 5spd, it was right at KBB value around here. mechanically sound, no issues.

it's got the wrong grille in it, all 01-03 4x4's had the honeycomb grille. so it may have been wrecked at some point. price seems a little steep to me for the age and miles it's got, but not unheard of for a 01+ 4x4

It is a lot of truck for the money especially considering it is from a dealers lot.
The big question is has it been maintained properly and has it been wrecked.

The other thing to consider is, if you like nothing but OEM Parts from the Ford dealer you will find many of the parts you may want to buy are just not available from Ford and will need to be sourced from the aftermarket or salvage yard.

For the amount of money they are asking it would be nice to find one with a lot less mileage. Even if the price was higher.
