From the past 10 years about 90% of Ford trucks are still on the road, the other 10% made it home.

How far are you willing to travel, and are you financing, or could you get a loan and possibly buy from a private seller?

You will need to travel...we had to go into Chicago just to find a nice Auto LT1 car a few years ago when the GF was looking... My 01 was on the dealership lot locally for 2 days before we had the paperwork signed.... ;)... otherwise I dont see them around here that often...

So if you'll travel around 200 miles or so away, than I'm sure you can do a nice autotrader search and find something nice under 100,000 miles with a manual tranny and a v8.

Buy this one.

FWIW, my car has 129k miles and I've had to replace a catalytic converter at 30k (done under warranty and then scrapped for longtubes), the alternator (at 102k), and the steering rack is leaking a bit (got a replacement, just haven't put it in). Nothing too major. And it runs better than new.
