JMac444.... just curious, did you/your boss first learn about this truck due to 90Pioneer's original post?

 

And if so.... I'd be glad to accept a finders fee

In all seriousness though, I am in Fairbanks all the time. In fact I'm here right now. I buy a lot of stuff from DRMO, so if you need help with the truck let me know.

How economical is it really for you guys to buy this truck anyway? ~13k + 10% buyers premium + shipping from Alaska across country.... I figure you would be in it about 16.5-17k by the time it hits your door step, and then the cost of removing the poop bed and installing a utility box, or what not. It's a stripped down 2wd that doesn't even have AC.

I see much better optioned 7.3s with utility beds for sale all the time in the 6 to 10k range for sale, so I have to think this purchase was more of a "i want a 7.3 with under 10k original miles and I have a lot of extra money" type thing???

Had the truck gone for under 5k I would have purchased it and started a side business in the summer time going to all the RV parks in Alaska pumping out people's tanks.

 

Thanks for offering the help I will have to see what they are going to do on shipping I haven't heard anything yet. You hit the nail on the head he has a lot of money and isn't afraid to spend it for a truck with no miles. I will probably put a/c in it. The problem here is most trucks are complete rot boxes and have over 200k. We will see how clean it is it doesn't look bad in the pictures. We have a full body shop here so we can fix just about anything.

 

Yes thanks for the post I saw it on here and passed it on to him!

 

What happened? Truck is back up for auction

 

1999 Ford Motor Company F350 Super Duty VIN 1FDWF36F7XEE72498, GVWR 12500, 9949 Miles Shown, 46.5 Hours shown, Powered - Government Liquidation

 

Shipping was gonna cost way to much he said like 10 grand. We bought a new 2015 f350 instead.

 

So how does that work? He bought the truck ! Did he have some kind of option if to high to ship they would take it back? Been to a lot of auctions and once you buy it it is yours!! or did he sell to a local?

Ten grand to ship??? Someone was taking someone for a loooong ride.

 

He lost his deposit of 3 grand. I thought it sounded high for shipping but it is what it is
