Should I buy or pass?

[easyheimer]

Hey all! Looking to buy this Raptor but a little weary with something that has so many miles with no warranty. Don’t want to throw myself into a money pit. What do you think? Snatch or pass?

Thank you for your honesty. Any particular reason?

There is no such thing as a cheap Raptor. Keep lookin.

I have this super power to look at the vehicle... see the mods.... the miles...condition... and almost in full certainty know the exact life that truck has lived. Idk if its a gift or curse. But I just get bad vibes.

I mean in all honesty I don’t think it looks bad. Depending what your plans are. That’s a 1 owner truck and the CARFAX shows good service history and the blue advantage aspect might mean you could get an extended warranty through them if you go look make sure you get there to start the car when the engine is cold do NOT let them warm it up before you get there to check for cam phaser noise

My Father once told me, "The most expensive Porsche is a cheap one." .....

It has some perks, but high mileage "performance" based engines are usually a bad bet (mine has a boat anchor im told). I'm willing to bet the phasers shit the bed and this person dumped it. MAYBE you can get the phasers replaced with the ford blue thing.

I would get a full independent PPI given that price.

Also, unless you truly are "tired" (weary), you need to be wary or leary of that truck...

Phasers are 2-4k to have done. When they're done you are good to go. I sold my '18 for 46k last year, 103k miles. Had phasers done under extended warranty right before I sold it. It was still a great truck. If phasers haven't been done, plan on it I guess.
