Good Deal??
i found a 05 F350 Lariat crew cab long bed. 54k miles, chip, exhaust. 8 inch Fabtech (4 link w/coils and dirt logic res. in rear) 37 in Toyo MTR, 20" Welds, Amp steps, bio diesel conversion,
asking price is $28,588. my question is, is this a good deal and is there anything i should look for when looking for any problems?
thanks in advance

depends on if ur happy paying for all the added gadgets on the used truck or would rather start witha fresh truck and do the extra urself over time...at additional cost down the road..

I would run fast to the nearest dealer and buy new with warranty. That truck could very well be a rolling nightmare and it is way over priced for the miles and year. Way to many mods for my taste. And its probably a smoker and the 6.0s aren't to reliable if u read the posters here at all. Some dealers are selling half off of list so u need to shop. Cost nothing to look.

James, see for about $5K more you can own a brand new truck. Unless you really really want or really really need a diesel, don't sell the V10 short.

That truck is not worth that price, if you can afford that price just go but a new one and not someone else's problems.

I would definitely keep looking.......this truck is way over priced. Lots of good deals right now on Super Duties. When buying used, look for a truck that is stock or close to it, then do the mods you want yourself.
Good luck

I'm with the others, keep looking. That is priced pretty high especially considering it probably won't have a warranty on it.
Ford says no more than 5% bio or they can deny your warranty. I'm assuming if it has the biodiesel conversion kit on it, they probably ran 100% bio or around there so Ford could definitely deny any warranty claims.
