Need Some Advice

[SomeFormOfHuman]

I recently got my license and my parents already had a car lined up for me and my brother from the start so I'm currently driving a '98 Ford F-150 with 119k miles.

I'm more or less looking for advice on what you think it's worth and whether or not it would be worth selling in order to buy 2 trucks (inexpensive) for my brother and I.

This is the truck I'm looking at:

I have no experience with a manual transmission but I have friends that have trucks with them and they say it isn't hard to "pick up".

All input is appreciated.

Would be nice to have your own car, but if your brother won't be using it a lot, I'd stick with the F150

Can you post the results of the blue book calculator? I'm curious

Was what I got. Most of the stuff I put in was accurate although some stuff I was unsure about.


I don't doubt that KBB is pretty accurate but I just put brand new tires on it (less than a week old) and it has an aftermarket (nice) stereo installed. I may start somewhere between $3500-$4000 and I'll see where that gets me.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Hahaha had a good laugh.

Does sound like a better idea, you guys are just going to fight over one car, you both need your own.

A good deal.

I have another question: How long will these trucks last as far as miles?


This one has 270k which isn't bad for a first car.
