This truck is in excellent condition but it’s good to understand that this is not a new vehicle and the truck does show wear & tear appropriate for its 40,000 mileage as a personal-use vehicle (non-farm, non-worksite use).   In the interest of eliminating surprises, the following is noted:

·        The only damage that ever occurred on this truck was a dent to rear bumper (a minor parking lot incident) – there’s a small dent visible just right of the rear license plate (see photo).  

·        As one should expect on a truck, surface rust is found on the underside and there is a small hole on the rear bumper which is unfortunately typical of the OEM bumpers for F-150 trucks.   There was some minor paint flaking at the very bottom of front doors but it has been touched up.

·        As with most tube steps, they are in so-so shape (although recently painted to “look OK”).   If I were the owner, I’d remove them (they’re just bolted on) but some people might appreciate the extra step so I have left them on.

·        The automatic door locks have a history of not working all the time.    With only 2 doors, it hasn’t been worth getting it corrected (the Ford dealer quoted my dad under $280).

·        There’s a slide-out coin tray that is supposed to “push in to slide out” but it doesn’t slide out when pushed (you have to pull it out).  

Completing the sale:    I have done my best to list the condition and be up front about the blemishes - so please, serious bidders only.     Cash at time of pickup is preferred.   A cashiers check is also acceptable so long as you provide the check details so I may call the issuing bank to confirm authenticity (please allow at least 1 business day).    Title & Bill of Sale are ready & will be provided at time of purchase.   I request the winning bidder please contact me within 24 hours after auction end.   We are quite flexible on pick-up schedule – if you want to send me a $400 deposit, I’ll be happy to hold onto the truck for as long as a few weeks. 

The truck is located in Zionsville, Indiana (Northwest Indianapolis metro area).  The truck is within 10 minutes of US 65 and the outer belt around Indianapolis (US 465). 

This Ford F-150 will make a great truck for someone – it’s 100% ready for the farm or construction site but it’d also continue to make a great daily driver or 3^rd vehicle for someone.    I believe it to be 100% ready for long distance travel - no worries.   If I had the room in my garage, this truck wouldn’t be offered for sale!  If you are interested in seeing the truck and going for a test drive or ask any question before the auction end date, please do not hesitate to contact me at stephenbrown.1969@gmail.com.  

A number of interested parties have contacted me about a "buy-it now" price.   Yes, we do reserve the right to sell this truck outside the auction if someone wishes to take a look and buy it for $12,000 cash (FIRM).   We feel this truck is in excellent shape and there's a good chance the auction will exceed that price - but we'll end it early for $12,000 cash.  Thanks!

A couple E-Bayers have inquired about the truck bed because the earlier the picture of the bed (the one with the tailgate down) showed some accumulated dirt that sort of looked like rust in the picture (but it is not rust).   I wiped the dirt off this morning and took a new picture which has been added.   During the process however, I did find some previously unknown rust on the end of the bed which you can't see very well because of the tailgate - it's entirely cosmetic and could be easily sanded and touched up.   I might do so after Christmas if the weather gets more cooperative and the Ford dealer has the truck's red color touch up paint in stock.   Also, the someone asked to see the underside of the truck - I've taken a picture to give a idea of what sort of surface rust is visible and will add the photo.

The bed, tailgate and underside photos can be seen via the link below.
