found another one!

i found another truck, i might buy this one i think its a good deal
:F350 Crew Cab Lariat leather PSD with 32,000 miles on it.
the guy is asking 17,700 for it.
My question is i have an 03 F150 ext. cab FX4 i really don't pull too much would it be worth the investment at this point. i mean with the $ of diesel and the difference of gas. Here gas is $3.21 and diesel is $3.79.

Not sure what your expectations are for the 1 ton. There's alot more involved than just jumping in and turning the key.

I'd first get an OASIS report and start there.

why should i not expect to "just jump in and start it" i would hope i would be able to do just that. I guess i don't know what you mean?

i've owned a few diesels over the years-no FORDS.

The OASIS report is essential to get. Start there and post the results.

There are few other things I would recommend looking at once you check out the OASIS report.

Based on price alone, if the OASIS report is clean, I think that would be a great deal if you're really interested in a diesel.

yeah if the oasis is good the price is great. also it will be under warranty for around 2 more years or 65k miles so if this go wrong the worst that can happen is you pay the $100 deductible and are out of a truck while they work on it. this is the perfect time to buy a diesel if you are looking at it from the truck price prospective.

Not only will the cost of gas be more for the diesel but also the cost of maintenance will be more than on your F-150. But if you want a bigger truck with enough power to have some fun and for towing than by all means do the homework on the truck and if it is good go for it.
