Ford demo

How much would you think is a good deal on a demo truck? 2017 f250 diesel. Msrp 56k they are offering 12k off with discounts and rebates. 3000 miles on the truck. What do you think?

As long as their isn't anything visibly wrong that they wouldn't fix, I'd go for it. You'll have plenty or warranty should something come up.

I initially started looking at a demo truck; 2016 F250 King Ranch w/6.7. We negotiated for 2 weeks before we hit a stalemate. I decided to look at new and I found a 2017 F250 King Ranch w/6.2 that I got for less. Just food for thought.

I have purchased demos before and had good luck with them, so they are not a bad way to go if you get the right deal.

I personally would stay away from demo trucks. Like buying a rental car - you know its just been beat up its entire life.

Or you "doged" a bullet. Waay too big of a gamble for me.

Every brand new Ford I've owned was 100% perfectly reliable. (Mustang and Trucks, I've avoided the obviously disposable Explorers, SHO's, and such) Every single used Ford I've owned has been a complete and total lemon.

Every rental return I have ever bought ran or still runs great. Never had an issue. Great way to save money.
