Looking at purchasing a 2001 SD 4x4 standard cab XLT with an 8’ box . It has the 7.3L powerstroke. I am considering this for my daily work truck. It has over 220K on the odometer. It has very little rust and the interior is in great shape. Should I be concerned with that kind of miles? Should I expect a lot of problems? The individual is asking $9900. Does this seem too much? According to KBB it’s probably pretty close. NADA shows around $8200. What are your thoughts on this? Maybe I should pass on this one because of the miles? I’ve purchased many pickups over the years but none with that many miles. Thanks!
Really depends on how much they kept after the truck. You could be replacing a lot of little things...breaks, bearings, hubs, seals, belts, filters...or you could buy it and drive it until something breaks.
I think you'll be fine with the mileage...just give it a good look over.
I wouldn't go by book value on these...that being said, it sounds like a purdy good deal if the maintenance has been kept up. How was the truck utilized by the previous owner...
I LOVE THE 7.3, I kick myself everday for not buying my dads 2000 F350 crew cab 7.3 when he traded it in a few years ago....now with that said NO WAY IM SPENDING 10K ON A TRUCK FROM 2000 THAT HAS 220K MILES ON IT
I just bought a 2002 superduty 112k 5.4 4x4 from original owner with all maintenance records. The cab corners are rusted and it needed pass. Side exhaust manifold. I paid 2300$. I don’t know what extra value the Diesel engine might add but that seems like a very high price.
Bought a '01 F250 CCSb Lariat 4X4 with the V10 about 6 months ago. 122K on the ODO and got it for $9K. Truck is in great shape, I'd say a 7.5/10. Truck had newer tires and Pro Comp rims as well (3K miles) and a bed liner and Bak flip bed cover.
Prices will vary depending on location.
The 7.3 shoudl last for 500K miles. But the rest of teh equipment will need attention. Steering parts, axles, trannys. Also check if the truck has an intercooler. I'm not sure what years Ford started using them on the 7.3, but if it doesn't have one, it would be a good idea to add one.
If you're really interesting in buying the truck, have a good shop you trust do a pre-buy inspection. A good mechanic with experience with these trucks will know what to look for. If he finds problems with it before you buy it you might save yourself from buying a money pit. If there's just little stuff like maybe a worn drive belt or a leaking shock or other small problems and you still want the truck you have room to negotiate on the price. It's your money and you can save yourself some grief if you have checked out before you buy it.
