$11k for a 300k mile truck seems little high, but if it's in good shape it could be worth it. I paid $14k for my Excursion in 2014 with 140k on the clock. It was well taken care of.

 

I drive my 2002 CC 2WD every day, and it's running at about 303K right now. I need to do some minor tweaking on the front suspension, but otherwise, I'd be very content and peaceful with driving it across the country. I've also been looking towards selling it in the next 1-2 years (been saying that for 1-2 years), and it would take about $10K for me to pull the trigger and let it go.

 

Same here. would never let old green go for less than 10k

 

 

See a snake, kill it.

You know enough about what to look for. I'm seeing 7'3s go in Northern Michigan go for 8 or 9 and just the door handles are left. But everyone is in the market for a plow truck up here.



Looks like a very nice truck. Wouldn't mind seeing what the seats actually look like and a box photo. Has it towed, etc.........

The truck is worth what you are willing to pay for it no matter what we say. Someone will be along shortly with $10,000 to pick it up before too long if the pictures are current.

 

"Front end rebuilt"

Call about that statement. Considering it has the ebay 05 grille, i bet it was wrecked.

 

 

A cleaner one always comes around, but time, energy and money can all be put on a pie chart. If you want the truck, buy the truck. Or... if you want to him-haw over $500 or $1000, then keep waiting. Personally, I would rather spend a little more and mentally move onto other things.

All that being said, it's hard to comment on the quality of any specific vehicle without looking at it, driving it, etc. If it's in Texas, there is a good chance he has NEVER had cold start issues because it never gets cold... in other words, it probably needs injectors, glow plugs, all that ****. For any Super Duty, regardless of mileage, condition, etc. You should plan to have about $5k laying around to fix the random (poorly designed) items that inevitably just break.

 

If its me, not taking it for 10k with that many miles, I think you can do better. That being said, its not outrageous, its just above my comfort level.

 

Mileage means nothing with these trucks.... I'd certainly not think twice driving mine to the west coast tomorrow if need be.

Get a feel of the owner... was it his baby... or did he take it mudding every weekend. ? Pretty easy to tell if a truck has been abused or taken care ot.

Always expect to spend some money on repairs.... after all... it is a 20 year old truck !

 

Ended up buying a 2001 f350 4x4 cclb with 116k miles. Like the one in my sig but white. Local ford dealer trade in.
