I'm Joe, a lifelong Ford enthusiast, and mechanic, owning many Ford vehicles over my life since a '69 Mustang back in 1980.
Mustangs, Merkurs (both), Torinos, Escapes, an Explorer, and an Edge.
What brings me here is a low-mileage 1999 Ford F350 Lariat with a 7.3L PowerStroke engine.
It belongs to my father-in-law, and he's wheelchair-bound and can no longer drive it, or actively sell it. It was his farm truck.
I was hoping to sell it here to give it a good home, but it appears that the classified rules don't allow it if it doesn't belong to me.
Wondering if anyone has an ideas where a guy can sell a truck that still has a lot of life left in it?
Thanks everyone.

We'll see what happens!

It will sell.

As I type this, you are at 2 posts so far. Be sure to reply to me to get to 3.

Welcome aboard!

 

Thank you!! It runs well, transmission and engine are strong.

 

If only there was some way to keep those vehicles we loved over our lives! Had a couple of Torinos, nothing rare like a CJ, but enjoyed them.
69, 70 (Mach 1), 05 (GT) Mustangs, even a '99 Cougar V6 with a manual that was fun for a while.
Only a few non-Fords in my past, including two Audi Quattros with 5-speeds that were good for the MN snow.

 

Disappointing that after almost a month, no interest in this truck.

 

Where do you have it advertised?

 

A couple of Ford truck sites.
Facebook Marketplace.
A sign in the truck.
Talking to Ford truck guys that I know.

 

Wow!

Maybe the price is too high?

Do you note in the ads where the rust is bad? I know unstated rust drives people away.

 

I tried to show the rust in the photos. With the low mileage I thought it would garner more interest.
It runs great and the engine doesn't leak a drop.
I've lowered the price steadily, to $9,000 currently.

 

Interesting, I'm curious what it goes for.

 

Welcome

 

Not one serious offer after lowering the price $1k/ week.
I guess the condition is too bad for the value of the drivetrain.
Thanks for the opportunity to share it here.

Take care guys!
