What Its Worth?

Hey guys. Iv got the opportunity to buy a truck Iv been wanting for awhile. I just haven't decided if its worth the price. Heres the details:

1996 F-350 XLT CC LB Dually

PSD, Automatic, and the worst part... 2wd

Eclipse Package

Says the trucks in good shape, runs like a champ, minimal rust and scrapes, drivers seat wore out (I would prolly recover with camo )

Needs 2 new tires soon

Pushin 200k miles

Asking $7500

Whatdya think?

way too much for miles and just a 2wd.duallies are even worse for traction than srw,so 4wd is vital unless it's just a hwy 5ver tower or something.
since your words are "and the worst part... 2wd" then it's worthless to you,let alone 7k+.

If being 2wd is that detrimental that it makes it the worst part, pass on it and wait for another one to come along. Like the post above this one says, it's worthless to you.

If I did buy it, itd be strictly a "toy hauler". I am planned on either purchasing a slide in camper or Airstream and this fits the bill well. Not that I dont think the ol IDI couldnt pull it, but I do believe the dually would "handle" it better
