New old guy here. I own 2 Rangers, but my current interest is in an F250 I found for sale in my neighborhood. I welcome advice. Story is:

'95 F250 5.8 4WD XLT 120,000 miles asking $4000. Sheet metal damage (minor) on both sides of bed. Towing pkg. Power Commander and K&N air filter. Original owner died. Granddaughter brought it to California from Arizona last month, got it smogged and licensed, waiting for pink slip. Kelley BB and others indicate this truck is worth $8000 in excellent condition. This one is very good except the body damage.

Questions: Why so cheap? What to watch out for? What to ask? Is this a lemon?

Your advice this weekend greatly appreciated. I have to move on this soon. Thanks

Jack

 

Most likely, she doesn't want to put gas in it. It's a 3/4 ton truck with a mid sized engine, compaired to a small car the gas mileage sucks. Check that 4wd works, no odd noises. It sounds like a good deal to me, even if it need $1k worth of work.

 

Yeah i agree wuth ReAX why so cheap well maybe because thats all they thinks it worth you got to really think not everyone sells vehicles for how much there worth in the kbb or something maybe it means more sentimental value or maybe thats just what its worth to them

but i think these are good trucks make sure nothing is wrong
