I need your opinion on something I got a 89 Ford F150 with almost 35,000 miles on it not sure if it's original or not, I'll be running it more than 40 miles a day when I start my job this summer putting 200+ miles on it in a week. I'm debating if I should keep it and put some money into it or should I sell it and get me something newer. I looked at the KBB and it's worth only $865 for trade in. I should of got a Chevy or GMC but I got a good deal on the Ford and really needed it at that time. It's a 5spd and the clutch was just replaced and I plan on replacing the oil pan gasket Saturday. Opinions will be appreciate even smart ass comments! :lol:

KEEP IT!

Almost any repair made to the truck will be cheaper than a new truck payment. And I am in the same boat as you, my old pick up is worth more to me than anyone else.

I guess it would be cheaper to add a new air intake, cherry bomb exhaust, and all that stuff to improve performance and horsepower than a truck payment. lol It does have the 4.9L Straight 6 in it and I hear those are the most reliable engines Ford has ever made.

I have heard the same thing. If you get cherry bombs be prepared for me to yell obscenities at you if you drive in front of my house :lol:

:lol: Glad I don't live in Maryland. But right now the fuel milage sucks on it and it's costing me an arm and leg so I'm glad the Pete dealer called me so I got 2 1/2 months of being a kid left but ya know I'll be working on the trucks and driving the trucks so I can't complain! 8) Thanks MDKW

Young man.... you do not have any credit at your age, so you will need a co-signer with excellent credit to obtain financing...... Sigh......
