Need some help guys

As most of you know i've been looking for a 7.3 for about 9 months. Everyone that i'm interested in always turns out to be more that 500 miles away. Could any of yall run a carfax and oasis on this truck.

If anyone is near VA maybe you could possibly check it out lol? Btw does VA use salt on their roads? I know they get ice but not really sure on the salt.

Here are pics of the truck; looks good and low miles.

Yes VA uses salt, but did you see this in the Seller's Comments???

"Unleaded fuel, Power: 194 kW , 260 HP SAE @ 4,500 rpm; 350 ft lb , 475 Nm @ 2,500 rpm"

You think the seller doesn't know it's a diesel or something?

So would yall buy a truck from up north where roads are salted?

Probably just did a cut and paste from a stock spec sheet someplace - remember, diesel is an option, not standard

Well, It's probably a PSD, but even when I squint I can't make out an emblem, but I don't see a V10 on the fender. If I was trying to sell my truck, I'd at least care enough to proof read my ad and make sure all the facts were correct.

Maybe it's a PSD, and he switched to unleaded because it's cheaper, and that's why he's selling his truck?

Truck used in salted areas will only last 1/4 of the time as a truck that is from the sunbelt. It's worth the airline ticket to fly out and drive it home if you find a good one.

The emblems are on the door and they are Powerstroke emblems.

I live where they use salt but my truck came from Texas.

all depends on the tlc of the owner, (ex. how often did he wash it) mine is a 00 with 210,000 mi no rust. but it gets washed once a week in the winter.
