Would This Be a Good Purchase?
Hi, I found a 2000 F250 7.3 Diesel for sale. I know you guys know a lot about these diesels so would this be a good purchase? The only thing I am worried about is the mileage (210,000) but I know the 7.3 lasts forever.. Heres the link and let me know what you think:
2000 Ford F250 4WD Super Duty 7.3L Powerstroke
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Hey, welcome to FTE. I hate to see a new user ignored, so what I will suggest is that you drop down the forum index and find the 1999-2003 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel list, and ask this question there. Those guys know EVERYTHING about the 7.3 and the SD truck.

Wow, sorry I haven't seen this before now. The 7.3 is a great engine and if it has been properly maintained, should have several good miles left in it. Like Bill said, you might try posting in the '99-'03 forum to get some opinions. Looks like a really nice truck. You might try getting them to come off the price a little. Never hurts to ask. Anyway, like Bill said, welcome to FTE and good luck.

I imagine you can run an Oasis report on it and ask for any maintenance records. Basically if the oil and fuel filter has been changed at some kind of reasonable intervals. It should be good to go, but obvious give it a test drive and look for any body rust and such. Also ask how long that Edge has been on for.

I saw that posting a few days back. I live in the SE metro area of Denver. Here's a good checklist to look at when buying a 7.3 truck.
