I am looking very seriously at buying a 1886 F-250. I would like to get some opinion on what i am getting
F-250 Extended Cab/ Long Bed
Diesel (No Leak-New Glow Plugs)
Automatic(Just gone through)
T-case-dont' know
Power Steering-Slight Leak
A/C-needs pressure switch/ charge
Power Windows
Power Door Locks
CD Player
Good Paint
Good Frame
Bed Liner/ No rust in bed
6" Lift - Don't know what kind
38.5 Swampers on 16.5x12 inch rims with only 600 miles
He will take 6,000 on it?
Good deal or not?
TIA and I got first dibs

I don't know about an 1886 F250, but it sounds like a decent deal for a 1986! I don't know if you're wanting it to go mudding in, which is the only reason to have a 6" suspension lift and 38.5" super swampers, but the 6.9L diesel is a pretty weak engine, as far as diesel standards go. But they're reliable, and it sounds like the truck is pretty darn straight for being 17 years old. Have you driven it yet? For 6K, it should be running really well when you buy it, with very minimal work.

I have no had the chance to drive it yet. But from what he tells me he can, in his words "light up the tires." I know it is a weak diesel. But diesel is what is desired...Should I try and talk him down some?

yeah a super cab long bed diesel isnt great for mudding but good daily driver. hey if it runs good with no sterring problems or rub 5500. sounds like a good deal great all around trucks.
