99 F250 4x2 value?
Looking at a 1999 F250 ext cab auto 4x2 with 270k.Body is in nice shape it starts easy, slightly rough idle until warm, and runs well.It needs some brake work and probably glow plugs.
Is $4500 a good price? I do not put a ton of miles on a truck every year what sort of service life could I expect with good maintainance.
Currently have an 86 F250 that has served me well for 15+ years but rust is becoming a problem.

I Just bought a 2001 std. cab PSD 2wd. auto,w/152k miles for $2900.Needed brakes all around,but has been well maintained and runs super.NO rust.Bought mine at an auction,but you should be able to get them down a bit more on that price.

Wow $2900.Guess I should start looking at local auctions.With the price of fuel going up I thought now might be a good time to buy but most of the stuff I have seen was in bad condition or priced like it was made of gold.
270k is alot of miles, while the engine could be good for quite a bit more alot of other parts might be reaching the end of the duty cycle.How do the AC compressors,wheel bearings,rearend gears and other items wear on these vintage?

I paid $11000 for my 2000 and thought I did good, guess I still paid too much. Not much demand for a 2wd, but I like my truck.

Check the value at Edmunds as well, have found that they are usually a little lower than Kelly.
