should i buy it?

I found a '89 F-250 with a 8' Fisher plow for $500 near me. It is rusty and in rough condition. Don't know much about the engine or trans other than that it does run, sorry I don't have more info. This truck would be purely a work/ beater/ fun truck. Should I buy it?!
Thanks,
-Chris

ya know I think you shouldn't buy it... but you should give my the guys number...haaha
any 4x4 would be worth 500 bucks IMHO...
and I would gladly pass on my paint code but then my truck wouldn't be so special... so I cant give it up... haha, just kidding! My bud painted it and you the second guy thats asked me for it... I'm going to try to get it off of him in the next couple of weeks

and thanxs I'm real happy with the colors... it's a pain to keep clean though!

Sounds like a pretty much no lose deal. If in running, working condition should bring more in parts than the purchase price. Otherwise, would make for a great beater truck. Oh, goodBOY....let me know the codes too for your truck. I am going to be redoing the gray on mine next spring and yours looks like a little darker shade than mine...which I would prefer. Thanks.
