Looking at getting an older f250 or f350, 1995 year, saw one with the 7.3 diesel with 89,000 miles on it, and its in great shape, but the price is 20,000, any thoughts?

 

Way overpriced no matter the condition. Some dingbat trying to sell his gpas stock 95 Diesel here for 15k and its been a no go for the last month. Don't waste your time. If you like the truck, and the guy wants to sell it, wait till he comes down to a reasonable price before even calling on it. If he's smart he'll catch a clue..

 

A year ago I paid $8k for my '96 with 140k miles, in almost perfect condition. I saw another guy looking at the same basic truck as mine, for about $12k and I thought he was nuts.

$20k? I'll drive mine to you tonight for $19.5k.

 

Yea, for $25,500 you can buy a brand new 2013 Dodge Express Hemi 4x4 1500. The one I looked at stickered for $38,000. On sale for $25,500.
Yea it not a Ford but the Dodge is a good truck the Hemi 4x4 get 20 mpg. A guy I know chipped one & get 23mpg.
I sold an 86 F250 4x4 460 C-6 with a camper shell 190,000 miles with a moded engine a completely built C-6 with a Hughes Converter for $600.
Two years ago I bought a 99 Dodge V10 2500 SLT QC 4x4 5 sp, Gemtop shell with 72,000 original miles from the original owner for $5500.
I suggest you keep looking. I have a friend with a early 90s E350 Ambulance with a 7.3 non turbo with 60,000 miles for $3500 that runs just fine.

I don't know what makes these people think that their almost twenty year old trucks are worth 20k.

 

20K for a '95?!?!?! ROFLMAO!!!!

 

my thought is the wife made him list it.

 

Good thought.

"Gee hun, I'm not sure why it hasn't sold yet. I haven't even received any offers." Haha.

 

Yeah, $20,000 is WAY too much. The most I would pay for an older truck around that year would be $15,000 and the truck would have to be in almost perfect condition and have pretty low miles. And that is really pushing it. I would only do that if I had the money set aside and was being very picky and was looking for something particular.

If I were you I would look for something in the the $10,000 and under range. I would say something in the $6000-8000 range would be about right. Definitely NOT $20,000. Thats just ridiculous.

 

If it is a CLEAN crewcab stick, then YES, it is worth Very close to that with the low miles

 

that's the type of prices you've payed for one recently Brad?

 

Nope, but that does not mean they are not worth it

I paid 8,600 for my crewcab short bed 146k PSD stick 2 years ago.
It needed fenders, rad support a door, bed sides, spring hangers, brake lines, a clutch, rear brakes and a list of other things and I did VERY good for that price.( I could of sold it the next day for 12k)
If I had the money at the time and I found a CLEAN stick truck, I would of gladly paid over 15k. I have at least 20k into my truck now and a boatload of time

 

Jesus Brad how do you have all that time and cash to do this stuff?

 

Lmfao i paid 1800 for my 96 psd crew.cab duellY all it needs.is.a.idm and its clean no,dents.no tear.alittle.paint fading. Ill drive mine.to you for.6k and ill fly.back

 

Itll have the idm fixed
