Is it worth 7500 dollars?

I'm lookin at a f250 powerstroke. I want it really bad but don't wanna pay that much.

1997 single cab short wheelbase, brand new 31 cooper all terrains. gooseneck ball hitch, extra 20 gallon fuel tank, brand new injectors, 5 speed, 204000 miles. Bright red with a brush guard. I think it still has the dual mass fly wheel though.

Is it worth 7500?

Around here it would be a good deal _BUT_ we don't salt so old trucks are worth $$$$.

Around here the same truck 6 months ago would go for up to $11k even now $7500-$9k dpending on the condition isnt unheard of. Also we dont use salt on the roads here either. Salt accelerates rusting dramatically. Not that the mag cloride or whatever they're deciding to use this time is all that much better for your truck, but doesnt eat it as fast as salt. So its your call about how bad you want it vs how much you want to spend and how good of condition it is. But at least here if it was in good shape Id say its a good price.
