Is a 1995 Ford F150 a good first car?
I'm 16 and a friend has a 1995 Ford F150 XLT for sale. It's an extended cab with the 5.0L V8 and 4X4. The body is a little rusty and the current owner said that the frame may be bent. The truck also has 2 fuel tanks. Should I buy it or look for a different one.
My first car was a 1978 Ford… Can't remember the model… But I never drove it except to practice.
My first real care was a 1991 Subaru… And now a 1996 Toyota sedan.
If you can buy it for under $500, its not a bad deal, but you'll be paying out the rear for gas.
Both
It's not a bad choice, but if the frame is bent it might not be safe to drive
Nope
It has a bent frame and owning such an oversized vehicle at your age is unnecessary
Bent frame is deadly… Walk away.
No, the frame is bent. Its gonna cost what the truck is worth to fix it. 1995 was the last year for a true old school f-150. No obd2, emissions etc. All trucks rust at 15-20 years old. Look for a truck owned by an old man who used it to go to church.
I would NOT buy it with a bent frame.
I had a '95 F150 that I kept through college, it never failed me. However, it drank gas, and the "two tanks" and just really two average-sized tanks that made one large one. You use a switch to control which tank is being used.
I would spend $50-100 and have a licensed mechanic look it over thoroughly.
- I'm in high school and about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car So far I have looked into ford mustangs, I have a choice between a 2007 ford mustang gt with a 8 cylinder motor with automatic transmission, or I can get a 2013 mustang v6. My question is which of the two cars is a faster and louder car cause I would like to show it off and have heads turn by its engine as I drive off on the street. Thank you very much about to get my first car looking for a loud, fast and good looking car?
- Good first car? NSX? Muscle Car? I'm 15 and starting to think of some cars that I would want (and are possible to obtain, '67 Pontiac GTO '68 Roadrunner Hemi '70 Ford Torino '79 Firebird Formula 400 '85-'90 Camaro '67 Impala '73 Nova '78 Camaro '66 Oldsmobile Toronado So, would the value of the NSX be worth buying and fixing up? And which, if any, muscle car is the top of your list and why?
- Is a Ford F150 a good first car? I'm a 16 year old guy and I want to buy a car within the next year or so. I have driven an F150 before and I really liked it. I know they are good trucks. I want a 2000-03 F150 Lariat (supercrew). It will be 4X4 so it can handle deep snow better. Should I get one? I plan on keeping it for a long time. I plan to keep it for as long as I can. I prefer trucks over cars.
