Buying help

Looking at a '84 f250, and would like some buying advice.

F250 dually, super cab long bed, 6.9 diesel, a/t, set up for towing with electronic brake controller, hitch, and goose neck hitch. rhino lined bed. Labeled as a XL model with Centurion badges on the hood. I'm not all that familiar with this generation of fords, so is $2000 a god asking price?

It all depends upon the shape of the truck. Kind of hard to tell without seeing it. Are you sure it is an F-250 I never seen one as a dually (at least not from the factory). Those are usually F-350s.

I have a friend in Everett looking for a similar truck, but with 4x4 and they're in th $2300 price for 4wd with a 460, so that sounds a little high, but condition can add a couple thousand .

Centurion makes it worth pretty good money.

It looks like it's well worth the money.

Take good care of it and it may be a collector some day.

Don't know if I should try to haggle down the price or not. The owner is unsure of the miles. Odometer says 42K, but not sure if its 142K, 242K, ect. Plus there is that chip in the drivers side fender wall

It wouldn't be 42k. Probably 142k, it's not as likely to be 242k. (but it is possible..)

Trying to save money is always worth a try.
