Yea. Looks from the pic to be a sharp truck. Like the paint color.

 

[03_7.3_SD]

Looks great. Id offer 6500

 

[kiwi f150]

definately YEA

 

[slmann]

Looks nice

A good indication that it's been wrecked and not fixed properly is that it has the wrong front bumper on it....... PSD's were vented for the charge air cooler similar to the way the ecoboost is today.

example:

 

[F150]

A little spendy for a 17 year old truck with 220+ on the clock.
but it sure looks unabused from the pictures.

HELL NO... it looks great.. but has alot of ? marks.. just like what brad brought up. but the interior is completely mismatch. XLT's for the most part if not all the time never came with vinyl floor mats.. the rear bench and front buckets dont match material wise. Engine is all prettied up and shined up which means they are likely trying to hide something.. and front bumper is incorrect.

 

[5.0Flareside]

they must be real desperate to sell this truck.....

Well book is only 1800-3500 and trade in value is $900.

i agree with F150 above pricey & mileage...with that said tho,there is always someone willing to pay it.truck looks very clean & unabused.if it was me..i would drive it for a bit in 2 & 4wd see how it acts & drives, listen for any noises, & clunks of any kind.feel out the transmission 200k is a lot of miles on an automatic especially in a 4 wheeler.check the trans fluid & smell it for a burnt oder.it should be pink,not brown. see if there are any braking issues. i would also plead my case as far as the age & mileage & see if they will deal. with a 8k price im not sure where they are getting their numbers from..the truck is way over priced.that crossed out retail price is a lure to attract a buyer, i use to work in a used car lot...i almost bet you,they have no more than 5k in it.if that,keep in mind if you buy it Book value comes into play & you will have to keep it for some time to get your $$$$$ out of it.the choice is yours..Good luck!...Bob

Pricetag is way out of the ball park for what it should be. The engine being clean doesn't mean squat since it is a dealer, it means they cleaned it like is standard policy at most dealers. Think about it, if you went to a dealership, popped the hood, and saw a cruddy looking motor, would you think "what a piece!"? It is standard for them to detail a vehicle, so I don't see washing it as any kind of issue. I would do the same if I was trying to sell any vehicle, as it just makes a better presentation, it isn't hiding anything. Sometimes washing will show more than leaving it dirty.

Any dealer is there for one thing, to make money. Personally, he's way too high on the price, but that's so he can "negotiate" a little and make the (clueless) buyer think they have gotten a decent deal, meanwhile he has only slightly cut into his profit margin. I would say "Nay" and get a truck off of a private citizen even if it meant I had to travel a little further.

learned a lot from reading this thread... I'm curious about the reported fuel mileage in the add 20-23? is it a cummins? lol

also wanted to show this: http://www.alansautonetwork.com/Vehicle/Details/2342

1. Diesel trucks bring the world, and that bodystyle powerstroke will bring the moon. Book is meaningless.

That being said- Suburban Ford up in Sandy had a '96 PSD Supercab. 100K miles, Dk Green, XLT, full load and bone stock (and yes, that makes it worth much more). I'd call it as close to new as you could expect a 15 yr old pickup to be. $21,995 was the asking price, and it didn't last through the weekend.

Both PT Barnum & Steve Jobs were right, There is a sucker born every minute.

I too, learned alot reading this thread, but around these parts...the gen 9's are gold. A relatively beaten 4x4 truck with high miles will put you in the 5-7k range and more for the diesel premium.

That was my initial thought, but that pricing is pretty consistent up here. As mentioned, Gen 9's are valuable, Diesels are gold, and the used car market is completely nutz.

 

[boysmomoflabs]

Was talking to my boss about finally getting the truck tomorrow and I asked about his big Ford (wondered if it was a Powerstroke)

It wasn't but I've never heard the man drool before when I said "diesel powerstroke". Guess they're quite wanted up here too. (north of PolarBear)

That's a lot of miles on that baby....the only way I feel comfortable with a high mileage vehicle is when I put most of the miles on myself knowing all the work I've done to it.
