Need help for first purchase

Looking at a 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty XL with 97,520 miles. Seems low miles for a diesel. What do I need to look out for? Has new sinister coolant filtration system and brand new injectors. They're asking 16k but looking at NADA I think I'll offer 11,500 with a trade in worth 10 easy. Thoughts?

With a trade in I don't see you having any leverage, Cash is the lever. We have an article in the Tech Folder to give you ideas on what to look for in buying a used vehicle, should be a good read and bring you up to speed on various items. Any questions just feel free to ask.

You are not specific enough in your description of the truck to get good feedback.

Hope to see a picture of it, or the one you choose.
