check if intercooler recall was done. ask to see the service/maintenance records. belts are cheap enough that changing them is best. i have not seen any posted lifespan for the blower. some change the s/c oil and R&R the bearings@ 100K miles. best to have a PrePurchase Inspection done so you'll have a professional look for/identify potential problem areas. if you have the $$, buy an extended warranty.

The Condition and overall LOOK of it would tell alot as far as how it was taking care of. At 100K the important thing is to NOT pay too much because you have to go into it knowing the Motor, Trans, Rear, SC, Front End and Suspension, SOMETHING will most likely "someday" need replacing

IF THIS IS THE LIGHTNING IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD TO ME FOR THE PRICE

If not check it out with free Shipping and a 6mo 6K wrrnty it's a pretty good deal and @ the right price for those miles

THE BARGAIN "BUY IT NOW" PRICE 0F $12,788.00 INCLUDES FREE SHIPPING RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR (WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES ONLY) AND A 6 MONTH / 6000 MILE PIECE OF MIND NATIONWIDE WARRANTY....WOW!!

a carfax will report if he's the original owner or not..looking at his ebay id, and feedback, i would say hes a dealer..I can not find the ad but, about 3 months ago, I was trying to buy a 94 f250 powerstroke from a guy in Ft Lauderdale,,great communication until I tried to arrange for a friend of mine and his Ford mechanic friend to check it out,,not saying for sure this is the same guy, but the ad format and all are the same,,,then he wouldnt answer email or the phone.....just do your research on the truck as well as the seller,..just a heads up...
