1996 Ford F-250 powerstroke diesel

Is this guy serious??? 3 thousand dollars for a totalled f250? I think it needs more than a cab... what do all of you think? Shouldn't this be like 500?

F-250 7.3 diesel 4x4

Are 7.3s worth their weight in gold! I only paid 3 grand for mine and it was driveable...

There's $1000 in parts on the motor and a box like that would sell for 500-750 all day in the rust belt... if a guy tired hard you could sell 2K in parts off it.

On edit, I ment the first post of the white truck.

The red one MIGHT have a good motor, the trans is prolly cracked, look at the bent frame....

Alot of people see the value of a pristine example and don't realize how rare and important "pristine" is. The logic is often: "If that truck is worth 12K without any mods, my wrecked/totaled truck with X Y and Z ill chosen mods must be worth at least a quarter of that!".
