what do you guys think , good deal or no ?

 

[adsm08]

Its not a bad price, especially if the trans and body/frame are in good shape. My only question is...

What do you need it for?

If you have a legit use for that truck, go ahead and grab it, but if you are still in school (which I am, so I know how it is) and you don't need it, I'd pass.

well i could get it i am looking at staying for a 3rd year at college to take the Truck and Diesel Technician course , so i need something to fart around with

once i graduate my family owns a contracting company so it will give me a work truck , we have two work trucks right now and one has to have the engine pulled ( it is a diesel but i wont touch it ) the two we have now are a 1998 GMC 3500Hd with a 6.5 Turbo in it ( in the process of being sold ) and the other is a 1995 F-Super Duty with a 7.3 Powerstroke ( needs major engine work , but with all the aux. hydraulic components i dont want to work on it ) , both have Altec 35' Bucket Lifts ( Telephone company trucks ) and the problem we have is they are both 2wd and get stuck , so i want a 4x4 Diesel i can carry my stuff in and use for work

nope , it is $2500 , and that is one of the cheapest Ford diesels i have found , i found a 97 F-350 with a 7.3 Powerstroke , 4x4 , for $7000 and it had 200k on it

I use to own a 1986 f350 with the 6.9. I sold it 3 years ago The 7.3 are pone to cavitation. Thedieselstop.com is a great website for these trucks. if you can find a dealer around where you live go to an auction with him and pay him a fee. They would give that truck away at an auction.

way too much

2500 is NOT too much for that truck with only 80k on it. no question about it.

and if the body and frame are solid, thats a steal!

it looks like it could use a waxing......but really 80,000-ish miles isn't very high for a diesel engine. Maybe go offer him like 2000 see what he says. It seems like a good heavy duty truck i'd definately make sure it runs really well but it doesn't seem to bad for the mileage.

i think i have an idea of who owns it , once i confirm that i am signed up for a third year i will buy it , i will probably go look at it this weekend if he still has it
