Default Thoughts on a '95 Powerstroke I might buy...

Hey y'all,

My name is Donald; I'm new to the forum but I have tough skin so don't worry.

Can y'all give me your thoughts on this truck? Ignore the online price, the actual price is $8,900. I went and drove it yesterday. It shifted great, 4wd worked fine (warn manual locking hubs), all electronics worked fine. It had slight (just surface) rust on frame but none on the body. It has a leak from the oii pan which they are repairing today.
I have searched a 500 mile radius of where I live for a 4wd, crew cab, diesel truck under $10k. This is one of the best trucks I've found yet.

Thoughts?

Where exactly is the leak from the oil pan coming from and how do they plan to fix it? Oil pan issues usually involve a motor coming out... I think the price is a little high but not by much... 7000-7500 would be more appropriate i would think...

well i went to the stealership and they would NOT drop the $500 doc fees, and all the other fees making the total $9785. I told them if they wouldn't do $8900 i'd walk...

well...

i'm back home without an f350. maybe they'll call me when it doesn't sell in the next couple weeks...
