Should I upgrade?

[explorerjosh]

I have a base 04 XLS 4DR with no upgrade features. Since you can get a 03-05 Limited with everything for pretty reasonable, I was thinking, should I get one? They're pretty safe for me (I'm a teen) and have features that modern day cars have. Thoughts?

I have an 05 Limited with 4.6L It has It has tons of upgrades and has been very good to us. This is my wife's favorite truck and she has no desire to get anything else. If you desire the upgrades it's easier to buy them on the truck than add them.

Well do you think it's worth buying a 12-14 year old car in 2017?

Well do you think it's worth buying

Worth it for whom?
Are you presently on strike for better wages at McDonalds or are you living on your trust fund payments? How much are they per month? Is $10,000 a night out in Las Vegas for you, or is $10,000 equal to 6 months of take-home pay? How much do you really, really, like POSH accoutrements?

You have a full tool box to do your own repairs? If you buy one and hold onto it you will.

Well I bought a 26 year old truck in 2015 (89 Ranger) and it was worth it to me.

More features = more to break and maintain.

My XLS has power windows and locks, don't know what else a limited would have that you really need. Power seats are not a need especially if you're the only one that drives it.

You're 16-19? Be happy with what you have. Certainly don't go finance something. If you have the cash get a 2010 V8 4X4 XLT

The fog lights are very worthwhile.

Can always add aftermarket.
