Buying a 96 F250 Crew Cab 7.3 4x4 any advice?

These trucks are known to go for half a million miles without much work. Tranny is definitely something you should have a bit of concern about unless you know the replacement was from a reputable source. Otherwise just have a thousand or two set aside in case of a what-if situation. Pretty much should have that with anything out of warranty though, so no different than any other vehicle.

If a dealer around here had that truck for sale, it would be 10k+. Mileage hurts it some for sure. Heck, a nice clean 96 250 single cab long box was listed for 11995 here recently and was gone in a week.
Had to edit. I didn't see the high miles in the first post. I was thinking it was maybe half that miles and originally put it would bring close to 15k here, and it would.

Update: I am going to go get it Monday, would of today but work got in the way. Pretty excited about it, only thing I am going to be nervous about is the injectors as the current owner doesn't know when or if they have ever been replaced but has always changed the oil every 5k along with the fuel filter every 10k. I talked to our diesel specialist here and he said worst case is down the road 3K for injectors to be replaced. It doesnt smoke on cold start, and starts right up without any shaking or funny noises. Non the less I can't wait to call her mine!
