So I am pretty new to trucks in general, but I need to get one for work and living purposes asap. I have been looking at a 91 lariat with a 302, 4x4 and automatic. It has new paint, reupholstered seats/ interior, runs great, and rust-free. The only catch is that has 120,000+ mileage and the asking price is around $11,000. Considering the explosion in truck pricing recently, is this a fair price? Also those of you with an 8th gen, are they easy to work on and relatively reliable? Thank yall so much!!!!
If I were to sell my 1991 F150 XLT Lariat 4X4, 5 speed manual short bed with a 4.9L and in great condition with 61,000 miles. I would take $5,000 for it. If I were selling it
The dude selling his 91 for $11,000 is full of ****....

way too high, but then you never know. It is worth what some one will pay for it.
If you can DIY and have basic tools, they are easy to maintain. If the wiring has been cut up by previous owners that may take some time and research to make it all work again.
All that being said...when you compare this to a "new" truck....it may well be a steal to buy it at $11K... I would certainly sell mine for that and it only has 71K miles original through out. The new truck is going to be +$35K, if you can find one and with an $11K downpayment your monthly will still be $500 or so, if you can get a loan
Unfortunately, this is the world we live in now, as mentioned above $35K for a used later-model baseline truck already driven out of warranty. I’m sure there are great deals out there, but none I could find. I recently bought mine a month ago…….I knowingly overpaid, $10K Great condition….but the overall concept was still much cheaper than buying newer and I absolutely love driving my 94’ Haywagon.
Used truck prices are insane in my opinion. I haven't owned a truck in a little over 20 years and recently started looking at older used ones (like 90s and early 00s era). I'm seeing people selling their 20 and 30 year old beat to hell trucks with 200,000 or more miles on them for close to half of what they sold for brand new - it's madness. This isn't a pandemic related issue either - I've noticed the trend over the years when I've looked at them off and on.
as long as the big makers are getting +$50K for their new stuff, the used market becomes more of a solution. Many of us simply can not afford those prices and even fewer of us need all those options and bells. Bring back a real work truck under $25K and they could sell them as fast as they could make them. Until then, I will drive my 1992 until it can't be driven and if someone is "dumb" enough to give me $12K for it - I will be just dumb enough to take it.
it is not just trucks that are insane, affordable used vehicles in general are quite the item

Oh yeah, I totally agree with you on new prices and I'm in the same boat - I can't afford to buy anything new. However, I'm also not paying upwards of $10,000 or more for a 20-30 year old beat to hell truck with 200K miles on it either
