Looking to buy a Raptor, some questions

Honestly, if you stretched that budget number out just a little bit, you could find yourself in a pretty badass Raptor right now:

The price is negotiable, of course, but this is a very nice ride. Worth it IMO to check it out.....

Seriously a good buy

I agree with Ruby, a south truck has most likely not been in salt, as long as away from coast and beach. To give you an idea, my buddy bought what you want 2 weeks ago in Mississippi. It was a white 2012, everything except nav, 48k miles and it cost him 41,000.

Judging by your 5000+ posts I'm going to go on a whim here and say yours is worth much more than my $50k budget

Money talks. $50,000 just determines what I take off the truck.

2013 SCREW with 50k miles for 44k BIN on ebay. Already went off once without selling. Probably a little haggle room.

edit: here is the link. Looks like BIN option is gone. BId is at 43k no reserve.

I sent him a message asking about rust and getting some frame pics, becuase you can see some rust on the receiver. No reply back yet. If it was rust free I'd probably buy it.

Personally I would do a west coast truck. Probably isn't affected by the elements of bad roads, road salt etc...

Would you guys say its worth paying a little more for a truck with say 20-30k miles compared to a 50k mile truck?

I think you'd actually be abe to find a decent deal in the MT/WY/ID area. There's a big market here for superduty's, less-so for non-diesel trucks. Also, MT doesn't use salt on their roads, but instead goes for sand and gravel. So, you buy a Raptor from back east and you'll likely have corrosion, you buy one from MT and you'll likely have chips in the paint (80 mph on a road with semi's that was graveled a week ago is brutal). Good luck!

It depends on how much more. Having a warranty is a good idea on a used car, especially a Raptor. Things like shocks and steering racks tend to go out and are covered under warranty.

My future in-laws have a place up in Bozeman. I'll have to bring the Raptor up and have you show me around this summer [emoji1303]
