No I sure wouldnt. I sold mine today for 12K and it had 136k on it. Theres plenty 7.3s out there with good price tags on them

If you were even thinking about blowing 17k on that 7.3, snatch up that 6.0 right now. By the time you put a couple grand in the motor (probably doesnt even need it), you will be one happy camper. Buying lifted trucks can be a hassle as you do not know what components have been switched and they do wear very quickly compared to stock, been there done that and it sucks. Good luck though, I would never pay more than 15k for a 7.3 unless it was a show truck

the only time i would pay over 15K for a 7.3 is if it had ungodly low miles. there was a 2001 cc, lb dually auto out here. 18,500 ORIGINAL miles, $22,000. i wish i had the money.

It all depends on your area too. Just check kbb and determine what wholesale value on the truck is. Thats what I usually offer.

Here on the west coast dealers are making the prices of 7.3s go througth the roof. I sold my 05 6.0 back in december and wanted to get back into a 7.3. After I started looking I was amazed of the prices some of these dealers are demending for low mile 7.3 trucks. A few dealers in cali 2002-03 7.3 with 110-150Kmiles asking 19-23K. I picked up my White 2002 CCLB XLT with gray interior, 98K, amp steps, a 6" lift BRAND NEW procomp wheels and 35" mickey tires, spray in bedliner and a few other goodies for well under blue book.
