re: Highest mileage you'd get on a used pickup for $20k?

I trade my fleet units in when they hit around 100,000 highway miles under the contract I signed.

The fleet management company that takes them back unless I can sell them before the turn in date ask between $13,500 to $14,500 for them. The trucks typically are around 2yrs old, 4-door XLT captain chairs & console, 4x4 unfortunately with eco boost after 2014.

My friend bought one from me in 2014 for $13,700. It was a 2014, pre eco boost it had 5.0 V8, and it was the truck I used. He has put another 75,000 Hwy miles and still running good. His only major expense was tires, brakes, radiator & transmission flush, and changed the plugs when he bought the truck at 98,000 miles.

30k

That thing could handle pretty much any terrain.

I guess. I think the wife said they had it after we traded it at 31000. Must not have much interest.

It was a rare deal. I called 4 hours north to a dealer in Chicago about a different truck. They gave me a low blow answer. I said, well guess its not meant to be. Wife then went on a nearby dealer and typed in info. Guy called back and said they needed newer used trucks. I gave him details and said, I have title in hand, I want a newer truck if I can get it for the right price. He then said, come up here, sight unseen, Ill give you 31k. That was at the high end of the blue book. I showed up and found my new truck. Negotiated some, then shook hands. Gave over keys, and title.

I actually paid off the new one today. Im no baller, just no debt and have saved cash and had very good equity in my vehicles.

Sheit. Come on old timer.

70-80k

Depends on model and accessories

I bought a 2012, F-150 Lariat with 72K miles on it back in 2014 for $29K.

Only reason I bought though was because I wanted The telescopic mirrors and it had the 6.2 V8 which is a motor I trust.

It’s Been fine to date

Knock on wood.
