2011 is a 5.4 correct? That motor is a dog. Being a SCAB and black are the only things I like about it. Might need a lead frame repair for those lights (i could be way off though).
6.2 right on the door . none of those lights indicate lead frame/transmission issues. it would likely be a wrench symbol or say transmission fault. the dash lights on could be caused by something simple as an abs sensor damaged which would affect the abs and t/c. replacements are around $20.

If the motor, trans, and transfer case are good, there's very little risk of it becoming a money pit. A drive in/ drive out transmission rebuild could be $5K. A motor could be 2X that.

Electrical work is time consuming, but it's just time and inexpensive/available parts.

Paint & body work is ridiculous, and you will never get that money back on a Gen 1.

If it has fresh shocks & tires too, and if it turns & stops like it should, buy it or someone else will.

Checkout Fordtechmakuloco on YT for F150 powertrain and electric repair videos, and keep it dirty offroad for Raptor-specific mods and maintenance tips. You'll find lots of useful info between the videos and comments.

yep. 2011 is all 6.2. only in 2010 was the 6.2 an option. but because this truck has the body damage, probably needs shock rebuilds, has tc, abs and brake warning lights (probably a wheel sensor) i would negotiate down to $12. firm at 13.5. since it has sync 1 thats also a negqtive check mark. what do the tires look like? fuse 27? spark plugs been done? figure all the necessary maintenence costs and deduct that from their asking price, or have them do it and pay their asking price. but dealers are dumb, they dont know what maintenence is required of these trucks.
This is fantastic advice.

Hey guys,

I'm looking at buying a 2011 Ford Raptor with 106000 miles on it for $17,500 with clean title, brand new tires, and brand new shocks. Frame isn't bent, rust is not bad.

Alright now for the issues, it's had three owners. It's got a few dents on the body. Its abs, break, and traction control dash lights are on. It's got one broken a/c vent and a broken driver-side seater heater. It definitely needs some TLC, but all those problems seem pretty manageable when the truck runs great, has only 106000 miles, and is only $17,500. Does this seem like a deal to you? Here's a few pics:
