Default Might buy this truck.. need advise!!

So i want to get rid of my colorado for something that can actually pull my car with. My local dealer by my house has this one for sale. After all said and done its $15,500 is what ill be financing out the door with my truck traded in. There actually giving me a lot for my truck too. The truck is super clean and everything about it is super nice but the miles are killing me! Are they high miles for this kind of truck? I have a few days to think while he holds the deal.

EDIT: ITS A 5.4 GAS

I did that. Resale on it is 15k with good condition. Im just worried about the miles. The truck is clean as hell, just the miles.

How well do the '04 5.4 motor/trans hold up?

I would say the mileage is a little high. But if it was well taken care of I would not worry to much about it. Make sure you have a mechanic look at it(If you don't feel you can adequately check it out) does it have service documents. TLC will go a long way. We can give you advice all day long one this one, but in the end it is you that has to deal with the decision.

It looks like a clean truck. I would get it if I didn't have a morbid hatred for Fords.

Well guys im kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. I went to Apple chevy and there only going to give me 10k for my truck so im sure its gonna be the same everywhere. This place is actually giving me what i owe on it and then still giving me the truck for 15.5 out the door makinf it around 13.5 before tax, plate transfer etc. So im kinda stuck with this place (RIZZA) because there willing to do all this. ALSO i can NOT get a higher payment. Id love to get a new desil truck but my wallet wont let me. So again i can get into this specific truck and have the same monthly payment. So i would be cutting even and getting a bigger truck but also getting one with more miles then i have now.

Im not too concerned with gas milage cause my woek it 5 min. away from me and i dont drive a lot. So im kinda stuck with eaither my truck or get this one.
