Then I was going to wait until June or July, but every time I ran an Autotrader search, fewer vehicles meeting my criteria would pop up, then fewer used F150s period, then fewer full size trucks period.
So when one that met all my specs popped up, we just drove an hour and a half and bought it. We paid a "reasonable" price that we could easily afford, but they clearly weren't in the mood to deal. The lot was super empty. They gave me more than I expected on my old truck without blinking an eye.
