hello, i just looked at truck, it was a 1997 f-250, it looked good but know way will i buy it. it had 377000 miles on a deisel, but 7,500 bucks. no thank you, it was even a xl. anyway, i thought 250 were leaf springs up front, this one had coils and radios arms. do 2 wheel drives do that or was this something done by somebody else?

 

I believe 2wd 250s had coils UNLESS they are HD (diesel or 460) correct me if Im wrong someone. Maybe someone did a diesel swap? Maybe a typo in discription? Maybe Im completely and blatently wrong? Maybe. Is there a link to where you were looking at it that you could post?

 

it is a powerstroke, something just didnt look right. it did have a little overspray on the window trim. and the truck did not sit right, like the front end sit low, like the motor is to big for the suspinsion.

 

Probably a diesel conversion from a 302 or 351.

 

2 wheel drive F250's have coils. 4x4's have leafs.

 

is it just me or is 7500 too much for a 97 xl powerstroke xl package with 377,000 miles

 

WAY to much. Especially for a 2wd even without the extremely high miles.

 

thats what i was thinking, the guy had a nada sheet and said that with a deisel the milage only deducted 500 dollars, the guy must be on crack, it probly said deduct 5000 dollars. it also said it had aluminum wheels where it was clearly elcheapo chrome rims. i hope theres not a sucker fall for it!!!!!!!!

 

There have been alot of nice diesel pickups for sale in my area lately. My buddy went to look at a 95 f250 4x4 diesel with only 107000 miles the other day. It was listed for 7500 and had no rust whatsoever. Needless to say between the time he talked to the dealer on the phone and the time it took him to drive there (45 minutes give or take a few) it was sold.

 

man i wish i had a deisel with prices like that, mines a 351 4x4 hd bought it at a city auction it was a grass fire truck, i bought it for 250 bucks and sold all of the firefighting stuff (sirens pump whole utility bed and dual wheel conversion kit and wheels) i was lucky but i made money on my truck. i put the flatbed on and painted it and fixed all the leaks and it is a good looking ride now...
