question for the members

I just thought I would get a general concensus on a truck I am looking at buying. Its a 2007 F-250 CC Harley Davidson truck with FX-4 package. I have not seen the truck except in pictures and it looks very good. It dous have some small scuffs and scratches but nothing that probably wont buff out. It has 170,000 miles on it which doesnt worry me because it is a Diesel and it shows it has been worked. My question is the price. The dealer has it listed as 14,900 and this worries me as I have been looking for 2 months for this type and style of truck and average has been around 17-18000. Does this seem right? The car lot that has the truck as well as the local Ford dealer ensures me it has been gone over and everything works as advertised. I just hate to drive 500 miles to get the truck and something be very wrong ( injectors, head gaskets, ect...).
What do you guys think?

Cost for that truck is that low because of the Miles on it. When you have specific taste, it comes at a price. In this case, distance. If its what you, try and get them to take more photos. MAybe a few videos of it idling. My biggest concern would that engine. Everything else about that truck is beyond solid. Worse case, needs brakes ball joints, or end links. Harley CC for $14K? I myself might look into that truck!

I know this can't be compared like this, but for that money I would buy that truck and part it out and keep all the goodies for my -99 F350...

A 2004 HD edition truck would cost here in FINLAND no matter what condition a minimum of 36.000 Euros that makes in USD about $48.434,40

For $14.000 you would have a hard time finding even a wrecked truck here in Finland

welllllllll lemme see here. If it has the big things broke right now... You would know upon test drive. If you deside to go... when your there drive it hard, make sure all the temps come up normal, hit speed bumps hard and pot holes. Now keep in mind, the day after you buy it anything can still go wrong with it, thats just how it is... The important thing to do is review the oasis report from ford. if there hesitant to show you it, i would back out of the deal
