as of tomorrow, i'm buying the 2004 ford f-150 lariat, black with tan 2 tone...tan leather. Its sexyyyyyy i'll post pics when i can, got it for 35 and change, took some moneys off the 39 sticker price and whatever my trade in value is

 

why did you sell?

I love the F-150... did you look at the titan at all?

 

You made a fine choice... congrats on your new purchase, take good care.... happy trails.

Awesome truck. By far the best pickup on the market. The interior probably as nice or nicer than the CL's

 

I want one of those pretty bad...can't wait to see what the new Lightning is gonna do with that platform (I know the 500hp 5.4 is rumored, but I wanna see numbers...lol)

 

I'm not a truck person, but mo power to ya, Congrats!

 

Good job! I am RIGHT BEHIND YA!

I will say goodbye right after christmas!

 

Damn, I knew you wanted RWD but a truck? J/K, the new F-150 is hot and they got rebates already for a good deal

 

congrats jim

i mean rob

 

congrats bro

my CL is gone in january.

 

Congrats. I've always liked the Chevy P'up, but the new 150 looks great. Nice choice

10 posts, and nobody has asked, so:

What they give ya' on for the 6spd on trade ??

 

i had dents, dings, exhaust leak off the header, no driver side visor, 39k miles in a year and 9 months, scratches, cigarette burns, rips in the passenger seat and i got 11,500(i didn't tell them about the misfiring engine or that the car was lowered)

 

damn u didnt get shit

 

$11,500!!!!!!

HOLY SHIT!

 

Congrats ya redneck.

Can't wait to see some pics of that bad boy.

 

that's just sad. i feel sorry for your new truck.

 

$11,500 for a 03 6-speeder.. Wow.. That's like almost a third of it's original price in only a little over a year and a half

 

Shocking post, to treat a new car that way and then spend 35k?? on a pick-up truck? What a waste of money, on both vehicles.
Excessive.

 

wow. I'd think that at $11,500, there's enough there to fix up a couple dings, re-weld the header, fix the seat, repaint the car, and still make some bucks off it. That, or I'm trying to justify to myself that my car hasn't lost as much in depreciation as it probably has.

I guess your new truck will take the abuse better...

 

Wow. I thought you'd say something like 20K. Ouch. You probably could have gotten alot more for it if you sold it yourself.

Hopefully they lowered the price on the truck alot. It looks like they will make a killing on the resale of your CLS. They could have given you the truck below invoice and just made up the difference on the trade in. Couple thousand worth of repairs, and they'll have it on the lot (or at auction) for 20K.

 

The F-150 is nice. Too things: I wish it had the five-speed automatic and weighed a bit less. I checked one out at the dealer and the interior is NICE. Too bad Ford cannot put that quality of interior or ride quality in their cars. As with any car I will wait a year for them to work out the bugs first. Good luck be sure to get the dealer Scotchguard and protection package. :P

 

sorry but.... wtf? Why did you treat your car like that?

 

dude, u could have gotten 16-20k easy on this forum board alone!.....EASY

 

Now, that's pride of ownership

 

congrats on the new truck...u got ripped the fuck off wit the trade in value tho even wit that sort of damage...

 

Obviously , you have never driven a Tundra.

 

For what most people need, it is more than enough truck. Not to mention better quality and reliability.

I wonder if the new F-150 will crash like a tin can.

 

congrats on the new ford F-150, that really IS the best truck engineered truck around...i dont care what anyone says. im not a ford guy personally, i drive a dodge Ram but i have alot of respect for what ford did with the new F-150, its sweet.

as far as the CL...holy shit, how did you trash that car so bad??? and why????? and even in that condition you shouldve been able to get at least 15 on trade in for that thing. wow, thats the lowest trade in anyone has ever seen for a CL-S

 

Do you want to sell your VIS CF hood

 

Congrats.....I guess. I can't see going from a CL-S to a slow ass truck.

 

its not always about speed....

 

some people would rather have a sweet ass truck and a boat, for example, cant tow a 5,000 lbs 21 foot ski boat with a CL-S....

 

rob, damn u raped the Cl with no vaseline. damn car sounds like it was on it's last leg.

 

that car was on its deathbed but thats what city driving and 50+ runs at the track will do, and the wipers stopped working.

A-the tundra and the titan are fuckin ugly in my opinion
B-ford trucks last forever because my bronco has 190k on the original motor, tranny, drivetrain etc and its not leaking or smoking anything.
C-the interior on the new ford is a lot nicer than that of tundra and the titan

 

Yeah but you don't need a boat when you have the CL. The stock CL already feels like it would be at home in the water.

 

the f150's a nice truck. i'm digging the new interiors. i priced one out to the max on ford's site though and was only able to get the price to 34k. how'd it come to 39k on the sticker?

 

I hope the new 04 design is more acceptable than this:








Appearance and interior don't help much in a tin can. Have to wait until a new F150 is tested and see how well Ford 'engineered' this one.


But if safety is not an issue ... :whocares:

 

$11500 is idiotic

 

wtf ill buy ur cl for like 15k no problem

 

look what jim is doing..

hes convincing us all to get pick up trucks

this better be the last cl-s to pick up thread EVER


lol
