Buying used vs new Ford F150 FX2?
New one 2014 model is $ 33K.
Used one 2010 with 30K is $ 25K.
Both have basically almost exact options included so they are very comparable.
I plan to keep it for the long term which is why I'm leaning to buy new, however its been my experience that the trucks generally don't start having issues until after the 5yr warranty period is over.
That would mean that perhaps the 2010 is on a critical period of perhaps having minor issues.
Is the 8K difference a good enough savings? Or should I just get the new one and have more piece of mind of new and being the first owner?
Thanks for the advice.
Added (1). Or are both trucks over priced?

Before you buy either one- have a mechanic check the oscillation adjustment screw.
The $2000 per year depreciation amount is pretty conservative. If the 2010 model is a factory certified vehicle with the extended 100K warranty it might be a better buy over the long run.
- Things to know before buying a new or used vehicle? It's my first major choice. Please help and yes I'm going anonymous because I don't want to be judged. Do I pay exactly what the sticker says? Am I supposed to ask questions? What should I know and what is the best choice if you please? Ford's seem like durable vehicles that are easy to work on or I don't know just help please?!
- I'm buying a used vehicle today, Does it need to be inspected again? I'm buying a 1999 Ford Taurus today from a Private owner. The owner has had the vehicle inspected months earlier, and the car passed and is currently running fine. Does the car need to be reinspected once I buy the car to get my own tags on it?
- What to look for when buying a used 2004 Ford Mustang? I'm going to look at a 2004 Ford Mustang this week. It has 101,000 miles on it. If I but it it will be my first car, so I want to make sure that it is in great shape and won't break down in me. Check the link and tell me if it is a good deal. What do I look for when inspecting it? Thanks! http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/4454973116.html
