Help Buying Advice
 

Hello im new to diesels and i had a coupe questions im currently looking at a 02 f250 7.3 with 165k miles for 17grand its got a lot of repairs done to it replaced transmission around 8 thousand miles ago ts performance chip wiring harness replaced and some other upgrades/repairs its got a 10" lift on pro comp 38.5 tires ive talked the owner down to 15 grand and ive test drove the truck twice and started perfectly no sluggishness at all and the truck picked up and went no noticable sounds at all under the hood is clean. thank you for the help

Still sounds too expensive to me. Keep looking

What would a good price be for that trucksee if I can negotiate more

Personally I wouldn't buy a truck with a 10 inch lift and 38 inch tires.tires are probAbly 1500-2000 and they won't last that long comapred to smaller tires on road, Also lifts cause more wear and tear on on suspension components and drivetrain and that can add up quick. I'd keep looking man 15,000 seems steep for 164,000 rebuilt trans or not.

Let's put it this way I had a 99 ext cab, loaded, 174xxx miles, chip, gauges, exhaust, intake, stereo, and brand new tires couldn't give it away best offer I got was 8500 from some kid, its tough out there.

getting a pickup with a lift that high totaly defeats the purpose. can you tow with it? no. you might as well get a jeep. keep looking.

Ok thank you I've been looking at an 03 250 6.0 with 118k for 12 does that sound bad

No, but I'd be looking it over real good because it's a 6.0, ask him if he's ever done deletes or he's studs.03's may have not been a problem year but I'm not sure, ask mdub or 03 powerstroke for clues, there 6.0 guys.

he said he has done deletes and had to replace the starter and ignition coils and a couple other things

ask him about studs, head gaskets, or injectors.

il get back to you guys after he gives me some information
