I didn't see any details on price or miles when I viewed the link. As for what to look for, read the thread below as this was just covered not too long ago. Cheers.

here it is I believe.
2008 Ford Super Duty F-350 DRW XLT $19,990 - Boardwalk Motorcars LLC Baton Rouge Louisiana 70816
147K. Priced about right I think...but I see perhaps a coolant issue. Degas bottle is low.
Other than that it looks like a 100K mile truck. That is not a bad thing.

I'd stick them for a pressure test and repair if needed to the coolant system since the degas bottle is low...plus it needs a flush I am sure.
Same with tranny and diffs. (don't forget the front) Also the transfer case.
Did you drive it? See if you can tow with it. If so then I'd put it to the floor up the steepest hill you can find and see how it does.
Then you will have made your decision.

I'm going Monday to look at it. I'm going to do a pressure test my self and if it fails I'm gonna walk away from it.

I wish I'd had the chance to pull our trailer before buying the 2010 we bought, but it turned out well. Within two weeks I had to take the trailer in for service and found that the truck pulled great and has plenty of power for the hills. If it's in good condition it's probably a great deal. Better than the one I got...

Degas bottle also looks pretty discolored. Hadn't seen one that dark before unless they had problems.
