This is a nice looking vehicle, even after owning it for nearly 13 years now and putting 126000 miles on it, I still like the way it looks and rides. My wife doesn't, but she used to. It is simply too old for her now, and she prefers a newer more reliable (and more exclusive) vehicle. When I originally purchased the car, I enjoyed it because it was a Toyota and I expected it to last forever with no problems, I also enjoyed it's size, power, and the extremely quiet ride. Over the years, a few things have changed. Starting with brakes - I have had to replace the brake calipers and rotors on every wheel. The exhaust manifold leaks and now the quietness is gone. The rubber seals around the windows and doors no longer hold out wind noise. The sunroof no longer closes without manual assistance. And once, the plastic back door handle snapped off in my hand, which necessitated an emergency trip to the mechanic since there is (surprisingly) no other way to open it than the one plastic handle. So - to summarize, love it when new, but over the years I have enjoyed it less and less as things have started to break. Oh - the most recent is the motor drivers side mirror constantly is running - drives me nuts, and I must get that fixed ASAP.

We purchased the truck at a buy here pay here because my husband doesn't have credit and we didn't have very my options. upon arrival we were attacked by the sales people asking what we were in the market for and trying to get us to see the most expensive cars. We informed them we were on a budget and that's when we saw the F-150, at the time it was mechanically sound and cosmetically didn't need a thing. I feel that we got a fair deal plus the down payment wasn't a ridiculous amount of money like some buy here pay here places.
