heh, here's another one

seriously thinking of bidding on this, only thing that is holding me back is the mileage..

eBay Motors: Ford : F-250 (item 180230184448 end time Apr-10-08 17:16:07 PDT)

looks incredible, has everything I was looking for other than the long bed

should I be worried about the miles?

going to try and get he oasis report and will get carfax before I bid, how's it look to you all?

Definately get an oasis report and carfax but from what I see it looks like a good deal. Just watch out for last minute bidding which can drive the price way overboard.

It's a good looking truck. Looks just like mine except mines a 01. The only bad part about it is that you can't test drive it before hand. But if its been taken care of, I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage.

One of my favorite color combos and a great looking truck. The seller (dealer) has limited feedback, but what they have is very good. I would expect it to go off over $15K.

Being the devils advocate, I noticed no under hood or drivers seat pics, which possibly tells me something. It appears the comments re mostly highway miles is probably true by looking at pics. Still, you might be replacing needle bearings in the hubs, and some other wear & tear items before long due to mileage.

Let us know what happens...

will defiantly get the history report before hand, hope for the oasis.. Can't use the ebay built in History Report from Experian at work for some reason ($7.00 that way, carfax is $20+)

Will get it at home if nlemerise is not able to hook me up again (thanks again neal!)

On a second look I noticed that it is a one owner truck. It probably has been taken care of with that many miles on it.

Any of you guys have time left on a CarFax 30 day account?

I did some digging for legitimate business address:
Gillman Mitsubishi 10585 W. Sam Houston Parkway South Houston, TX 77099 Phone: (832) 896-9927.

Checked the address via sat photo and it checks out as a very large car dealership.
