Hello Scotty,
Need your opinion on a F150 crew cab 2010 with 150000 miles for $11000 from private owner. I'm reading conflicting information on it saying has a bad motor due to cam phaser. I read stuff about deleting them and list goes on yet also read the 09 & 10 years are okay. Help! Stop the madness.
Vehicle seems to be in good shape and not beat on..
Not sure if your reply comes to me so I'm at firenrescue1@gmail.com thanks for your time

That's too much money for the mileage of the vehicle. Cam phasers problems have plagued that truck for sometime. Some trucks have issues some trucks do not. You're getting conflicting information because people will have different experiences. I still wouldn't buy it because $11,000 is simply too much for a truck that has maybe 5-years left on it with average driving.

Thank you, what about 2005 F150 4.6L crew with 250000miles for $5000
Still a bit too much. One thing worth mentioning is that experts believe the used car market price is inflated due to a reduction in used car inventory as a result of the pandemic. I would hold out on buying a truck right now or be prepared to do some serious negotiation. At 250,000 miles that truck does not have much life left in it.
