Re: Vehicle shopping: Certified Pre-Owned vs not
Yeah, I am not sure yet. The Ranger that I have has been somewhat of a money pit. It was cheap to buy, but I have paid more in the last 15 months on parts than I have on the loan. Then again, I'm pretty reluctant to go out and buy a $25k truck.
I am looking at 2011-2013 F150 Crew cab FX4 models. I have not done a test drive between the 5.0 and Ecoboost, so so far I have no preference. The thought is, why not search a little harder, or shop a little more, and see if I can't find a truck that fits my criteria (mileage, options, price, etc), and get one that is Ford Certified Pre Owned. It would extend the powertrain warranty to 100k. Which would be roughly 3-4 years of driving depending on how much I drive my summertime vehicle.
