Default So the F search continues

Hey guys. As the title says, my search for a new F is still ongoing. There is a car is Stafford Texas that has caught my eye, but being in Chicago, it's somewhat difficult to simply check it out. Does anyone by any chance live in that area that wouldn't mind taking a glance at the vehicle. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Weren't you the one who was checking out a car from carmax? If so what went wrong? I know it's off topic, sorry.

Where are you looking for cars online? Carmax? Ebay? Autotrader?

Autotrader and cars.com are the usual two places I check. As for why I am looking outside the state, I am pretty set on getting a USB and 1 or 2 to chose from isn't that many.

And the carmax car, the car had a constant rattle which the sales person would not acknowledge. So considering all things, I decided not to go through with that particular car.

Hope it's what you've been looking for. Never settle if you're not completely happy with the ride, even if it means waiting a little, or a lot longer in some cases.

Haha. Call me impulsive, but I thought if I pass this up, I'll be kicking myself later on. You don't find too many 08s with 12k on the odometer.

This is the car!

Congrats on getting a low mileage, unmodified F! I got mine with 16K miles.

Thanks for the kind words and a huge thanks to LowNslow for taking the time out of his day to check out the car. From all indications so far the car is in great shape both mechanically and cosmetically. Looks like this one will be a keeper.
