I just saw this on Craigslist and thought it looked like a good deal. I wonder if it's still available. Manual transmission too!

2000 F250 7.3L PSD

 

If I were in the market for another truck I'd be all over that thing.

 

I'd be on that like a fat kid loves bacon.

 

Meh, $5k for a 2wd stripped down work truck with 284k miles. Sounds on the high side to me. If it was a 4x4 and an XLT or Lariat trim, or if it only had 84k on it, it might be worth $5k, but as it sits I'd call it more of a $4k at best.

 

My thoughts exactly...

 

Yeah, it's probably a rust bucket with holes all rusted through the bed... Oh wait, it's a southern truck so it probably doesn't have any rust!

 

KBB isn't gospel, but this is private party value with 280,000 miles.


Excellent

Good

Fair

Private party value means nothing. You have to look at trade-in value to determine it's real worth. It's trade-in value is nearly the asking price which makes me question what's wrong with it.

Also, it's a diesel with nearly 300k on it. The chance of it needing a pretty major and costly repair is very high, and that isn't cheap on a diesel. The last thing you want to do is buy a truck that is only worth 5k on a good day, and then pour a few thousand in repairs into it. I'd stay away from it.

It's just a myth that diesels run FOREVER.

 

if that truck had an auto trns it'd the perfect project truck for my "junk yard sleeper" build

and it's too high of price
