97 F250
I'm looking at a '97 F250 CC SB 4X4 with 84,000 miles on it. I'm new to the diesel thing and was wondering how many miles I can expect out of the 7.3 PSD. The second owner is selling it and he seems really **** about maintenance. The truck appears very well cared for but the origianal owner can't be located. NADA books the truck around $16.5 and he's asking $22 for it. Its kind of high but its got an air locker, rear airbags, Rancho air shocks, aftermarket torque converter and a 60 hp chip (I can't recall the brand). How long can I expect this motor to last ?????

Too High
That Guy is as high as his price is. Look around and you will save some serious cash. I just bought a 96 f250 4x4 psd with 58,000 miles on it for 14,000.
good luck and dont give up.

In July of 03, I purchased my 97 F250, crew cab, short bed, 7.3 PSD, auto trans, 2 wheel drive, lifted 4" with a nice Rancho kit, wheels tires, and air bags and 41K miles for $17,500. He was asking $18,000 in San Diego, CA. It also came with a car cover. He had a company truck that he used Mon - Fri. I was looking at $21,000 asking price trucks on the internet with many more miles. At the time, I thought that 85k miles was low miles....If you like the truck, buy it...
