Need Is It Worth It???

I am looking at buying A 1993 ford f150 with a 302. It has the dark and light blue fade the paint is nice it has a sun roof and the factory ground effects there is a ticking in the motor a friend said it might be the roller cam he want 2500 and ai was just wondering if it is worth it. Oh yeah the air does not work. If any one has a pic of similar please post so everyone knows what I mean.thanks in advance
I am going back to either buy or negotiate at 6:00 pm today thanks

4x4 or 4x2 and more info would help.

sounds like $1000 truck to me.

the ticking is probably bad oil pressure or the fuel injectors.

Low oil pressure is often a clogged pickup in the oil pan, but can also be a sign of a worn out engine.

The 302 likes to rev. If it was beat on during it's life, it could be shot.

Check the oil pressure with a good mechanical gauge to verify the real number, and go from there.

i will stick with the $1000 truck value.

it needs air cond. fixed, may have oil pressure problems and is only a 4x2.

trucks like these are everywhere.

If you have to take it to a shop for repair, it sounds like you're at $1000 in repairs already...

Keep looking.
