WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR 11TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON E-BAY AND TO THANK OUR MANY LOYAL CUSTOMERS HELPING US SUCCEEDE WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A SPECIAL SALE ON A VERY UNIQUE TRUCK NO RESERVE LAST BIDER WINS-REGARDLESS OF THE BID NO ''SKY HIGH'' BUY IT NOW PRICE NO ''UNREACHABLE'' RESERVE NO ADDED FEES-WHAT YOU BID IS WHAT YOU PAY-NOT 1 PENNY MORE RESTRICTIONS APPLY-PLEASE READ ALL OF THE SELLERS TERMS SORRY NO MARYLAND RESIDENTS You are bidding to purchase a 1997 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 pick up truck that has been driven on average less than 5,600 miles per year far less than 15,000 the industry average.These miles are confirmed thru Auto Check (WITH A FLAWLESS HISTORY),the prior owner and without question the outstanding condition of the vehicle.These are the type of miles you would normally find on most poricey 2009 models buy very rarely on a 1997. *********************** In these up and down economic times we feel the fairest way to sell this vehicle is for you the buyer to set the price yes you,after all isn't that the best way to buy,you price it? ************************ This very handsome truck comes to us from a highly respected automotive franchise dealer that does not sell any traded vehicle over 5 years old.We find this guy clean from front to rear and top to bottom with absolute minimal cosmetic imperfections (EG:dings,dimples,scuffs ect.).We see no corrosion on the doors,fenders,bed or undercariage.All lenses,trim and moldings are clean and straight.The original factory finish still has that ''new'' truck luster.The A-R-E all fiberglass color co-ordinated cap(one of the best you can buy) looks to have been with the truck since day 1 keeping the bed of the truck in ''like new'' condition.The trailer receiver and electrical connection look to be factory installed.The windshield is clear and clean showing no stone bruises,cracks or wiper mar. There are a very fresh looking matching set of all season steel belted radials riding on the original factory alloys that show no curb or road rash.In our opinion this guy looks to have spent much of his time garaged.Very rare to find these days. ***************************** The interior is neat and tidy showing no signs of neglect or abuse.The dash has no sun fade or degradation.The upholstery,carpeting and trim panels are immaculate.The original headliner is clean and tight with no sagging of the material.There is no question this guy has never been eat in or used to carry pets,so refreshing!! **************************** Mechanically there are no worries here.The well proven 4.2L V6 SPI engine (rated at 18/22mpg) fires to life with the click of the key coming to idle at specs.We see no oil leaks or smoke around the block or from the exhaust.On the drive the acceleration is smooth and steady with the automatic overdrive transmission shifting on point thru the gears.The 4x4 transfer case engages firmly with no unusual sounds.The front end is tight and pleasing with the track being true and straight.The air conditioner works quietly producing excellent cooling.We see no issues with the power windows,power locks,cruise control, heat,defrost,original sound system or safety features.There is no question this handsome fella has been very well looked after and if continued by the next fortunate owners they can expect many miles and many years of trouble free service.This guy is true value for the dollar without question. ******************************** Whether you need a dependable daily commuter (for those ''HAVE TO GO WINTERY DAYS-NOT THAT FAR OFF"),a safe and reliable starter vehicle for that ''new'' driver in the family or just a nice truck for when you need one this ''ROSE AMONGST THORNS'' WILL NO DISSAPOINT IN ANY WAY.Please keep in mind trucks of this vintage in this condition with these kind of miles are very few and far between and are rarely found on a ''NO RESERVE'' auction but are normally passed down by senior family members and never offered to the public.Don't forget 4x4 vehicles are 20 to 30% less expensive before the end of summer and after labor day as the demand increases so do the prices.Bid now and save now as we feel this will be the best investment you will ever make in a previously owned truck.This handsome truck awaits the LAST bidder for his new home,why not make it yours.They do not come any cleaner. ******************************** As always you are welcome to come take a look,listen or drive prior to bidding and we encourage this.We are just north of Annapolis,Maryland zip code 21061.We offer free shuttle service from close by BWI airport or AMTRACK rail station.We also offer FREE over-nite title deliver service.Any questions please e-mail or call Mike or Charles @410-207-2168. ********************************* SELLERS TERMS AND CONDITIONS If your feedback score is less than 5 you must call before bidding or you bid will be cancelled.THIS IS TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AUCTION-NO EXCEPTIONS.
