Gold 7.3
Yup...found another 7.3 made of gold 
This place has a history of extremely high priced used trucks, but i think this one takes the cake. yes it has 17k miles on an 03 lariat 7.3, that looks clean, but its still 10 years old. i think they are going to have this for a very long time at 34,000$....

Looks like another overpriced "rare find". For 33,000.00 Id rather put that down for a brand new 6.7! Extremely low mileage for a 10 year old truck will still have issues from sitting! My main concern would be that its probably the factory coolant! 18,000/10 = a 1,800 mile yearly avg comes to 34 miles a week is 136 miles a month. That's really good on a 7.3, short trips in cold states. I passed up a 1997 F250 HD EXT cab LB 4x4 7.3 with 110,000 miles on it. Leaving any vehicle sit especially a diesel is never a good thing.

Sticker for my '03 was just shy of $45K. I paid $20K in late '07 for mine (with 146K on the odometer).
They put a lot of thought into the ad too. That doesn't look like a grey interior to me (didn't think it would be either with tan for the two-tone).

I haven't seen it happen yet to any of our stored vehicles some of which are over 20 years old. You might get the random dried out rubber hose here and there but to have a 20K mile 7.3 I wouldn't complain one bit.

If it was driven in the winter back there, every nut and bolt on the undercarriage will be corroded or worse. I might pay high dollar for one out of the snowbelt (like the Southwest), but I remember working on vehicles in New Hampshire...once they are a couple of years old, the best wrench is a cutting torch.

My grandfather purchased a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertable in 1987 wih 150 miles on it. It's first owner was the city of Los Angeles and it was used as the parade car for the mayor.
He sold it in about a year and a half ago right before he passed with a little over 20,000 miles on it, it was purchased by a prince from saudi arabia.

"HERS" was $44,500 sticker, paid $34,500 new with 0.9% financing.
Yes, they must believe it's made out of gold. Maybe they were using it for gold coin smuggling, and figure there's a few left in some hidden panels.
