Buying Advise

For all the 6.0 people, i do own 2 7.3's but a friend offered me his 03 6.0 if i jus take on the notes still owes about 20,000 on it but being an 03 i heard they are the worst ones out, is there any updating an 03 motor to where its relaible. on of my 7.3's has been a complete disaster it does nothing but tear up. what do i need to do. This 03 has 70,000 miles FX4 XLT package. and has hardly had any work done to it only EGR coolers. Thanks!

In this market you can pick up a newer truck for about the same money (20K).

I have an 05 and an 06 with 120,000 miles between them and I absolutely love 'em.

I would shop around.

Did he get a 10 year loan? Thats insane...

Don't be scared of the younger 6.0's there are a few good ones out there. If you are willing to spend 20k though get an 05 or newer.

Make sure you run an oasis report on whatever your looking at buying.
