So I'm looking into buy a f-250,somewhere in the 13-16 year range, diesel here before summer. Haven't made up my mind on new or used, so what you guys considered to be to many miles to be buy a used diesel? The truck will be an every day truck, then pull the occasional boat in the summer and the second as a ranch truck. Thanks!

 

You'll get a bunch of different answers, but in my opinion I would try to find one under 50k and preferably under 36k. Really depends on how much you want to spend, but reason I say under 36k is you don't take the depreciation hit of new, but you should still be able to get a good warranty, which I think is important on these trucks.

 

I've sold lots of new trucks because of how expensive used ones go for. I had a guy that always sticks out in my mind dead set on getting used. Didn't even want to hear my offer until I asked if he had the original window sticker for the used one down the street he was intending on buying and then told him I'd get a better deal for him on a new one. Gave him a great deal but still made profit on the front end and he was thrilled. They aren't common and generally used goes for KBB money retail money.

 

You can usually get better financing on a new one too, so you get a lower interest rate and a lower monthly payment. I bought a new escape a few years back for $26k and paid $350 a month for it. I just bought a used expedition for $12k and my payments are $400 a month.

 

Go to fords website , search dealers inventory for SD trucks you can set some parameters for what you want . max range 100 miles , use your zip code then try these , 32615 ,32837, 33409 , 32958 that will cover most of the state thats how i found my Tremor . I f you can get x plan codes go into ford partners .com its user friendly , inventory search prices shown are x plan then subtract your PCO from ford , when you use the partners site if you click to open the window sticker the price on the sticker is not xplan the price you see on the page that lets you open the window sticker is x plan price good luck !
