Cheap 08
I can't afford it, but I thought I would share this and see what you all thought about it. It seems like a pretty good deal. It is an 08 F-250 6.4 x-cab long bed 4x4 with 58000 miles for $9000. It has a cracked piston, but is seems like a very good deal if you put the money into a rebuild. 2008 ford f250 diesel

Very true. My Ford price is the
Worst case price with the Best Warrantee
I did not look up a Ford Short Block. But I think a Long Block would
be a better option if you have the funds. Never know what might of
happened to the heads when the piston got cracked.

love when guys use the "I know what I got so no low ballers"
......if he could fix it and make more money he would.....trucks probably been ridden hard and put away...well you know 
many times.......what you got is a truck needing serious coin to make drivable again plus who knows what other parts needing repair from lead foot abuse......for the hassle it`d have to be 5-6k 6500 maybe

But all he posted was one outside photo. CL is free so it
up to you to take advantage of that and post as many photos
to entice more buyers. Also he does not say if it has a clean
title or not.
But if one was interested in that truck asking for more photos and info
on the title would be some of the basic things to ask.
It is most surely a case of Caveat emptor

As much as I hate dealing with stupid people, that's usually where you get the best deal....But yes, this is one you'd want to inspect very closely before buying...

Or the very out of focus photos that seem to be all over the place.
Nothing like a fuzzy photo to make something look inviting.
But I do know what your talking about. Along with the mis-spellings.
Good things to be found.

I have the feeling he is a heavy footed black smoke shooting type and I bet the tranny and rest of the drivetrain aren't in too great a shape either.
He wants a trade for another diesel and thinks his is a "panty dropper" I think we can imagine what he is like and the age range.
