Hopefully a moderator will turn this into a poll question as I am curious as to how many of us have actually purchased our trucks new vs. who purchased used. There is no wrong answer either way I just see probably about 75-80% of all postings indicate that the truck was bought used and therefore the "new" owner doesn't have much history (maintenance & repairs) to look back on. Typically interested in the 99-03 PSD's. Thanks for your inputs!!

 

Used.....Bought a 2000 f250 4X4 psd in June 2005.......40000 miles.......

Used. 4 years old, 89,000 miles.

Now almost 6 years old, 120,000 miles.

It runs much better, shifts much better than when I bought it. It still feels tight, rattle-free. If I drove it right now for the first time, I'd guess it had less than 30,000 miles on it.

 

We have Two SD's
Bought new 2003 F350 SC DRW, July 2003. Now @ 45K
Bought a used 2000 F250 4x4, Oct 2003 @ 40K. Now @ 62K

I live on the East Coast and if I needed to go to the West Coast I would take it tomorrow without any hesitation or concerns! As ARNINETYES stated... the truck is tight and rattle free.

Four years old with 95.200. Now has 170,00 and still runs and rides like new. Am leaving in the morning on a 5,000 mile trip to Alaska and have no concerns at all as far as the truck is concerned. Me, I am a different story.

 

Bought my 2000 F250 4x4 7.3L extended cab used on 20060101(thats jan 1st of 2006 for u none military ppl) Happy New Years! W/64,000 original now with 66,700

God Bless America! Hoo-AH!

 

Used. 2000 F-350 purchased on eBay from a broker in Dallas in September '04 with 127,000, now has 148,000. Saved about $7K over local sellers. Minor wear on the steering wheel is the clue to its milage. It's still "tight".

Love this truck. It's exactly what I was looking for, color and all!
