What do you think?

I just looked at a 97 F-250 Heavy Duty Power Stroke 7.3, Auto with 109K this morning. The asking price is $17,9000. Does this seem like a good price.

It ran well, but while it was cold I turn around and when I entered the road again it seemed as if the tranie was slipping when I let off the accelerator it changed OK & seemed Ok after that. Anything I should look for, any problems?

Thanks

Im in californa so 17,000 is cheap. Make sure you get all the matiance records. If he don't have them that just may be for a reason.

If it's in good shape that's a good price. Here in Reno, Nv Ijust saw a 97 F250 SC PSD with 64,000 miles on it for $27,000.

Go to kelly blue book.com and enter your truck under what to expect for a trade in from a dealer. You can enter your exact equipment and they will give you a fair price. Your puchasing price may be a little higher than the quoted price but it should be close!
