2000 V10
I've had a couple PSD's in my past but am considering a V10 right now. Seems like the PSD's are priced about 5-6k grand higher in my area. I really like this V10 that I am looking at so should I be afraid? I assume with proper upkeep the motor will last a long time and the difference in fuel economy will take years to make up the diffence in price. Especially since diesel is about 30 cents more a gallon around here anyway....
I am mod crazy and would probably add a blower to the V10 so I am not really concerned about the extra power the diesel can make outta the chute.

Thanks for the advice. Definitely leaning towards pulling the trigger on Monday. It's a little high on the price side, but looks like it has a nice lift and brand new wheels and tires.

I hate the fact that it isnt leather, but I know I can get the seats recovered or swapped out. Alot of the leather interiors I have seen with 100k+ miles need some serious work anyway also... What do you guys think a fair price on this thing is?

I got leather.......truly prefer cloth......leather looks nice.......until you have to sit in it....hot in the summer.....cold in the winter. Plus I think today's cloth wears better...no cracks.....might be me but couldn't see your link

Definitely gonna work them on the price some. Problem is, I have an explorer that I am trading in that probably has a trade in value of about 12-13k. So, the dealership is gonna have to cut me back a check. They should do it though, I would think a 06 limited 4x4 explorer with a v8 is alot easier sell for them than this big boy. I think with the trade and a check to me for 2500-3k, I will be happy.

Its rediculous around here though. I have looked at a couple 00 7.3s around here that are lifted and need tires and other work and are nowhere as clean as this one, and the places will hardly budge off $20k.

And, of course you will do better selling your trade yourself than you will trading. The dealer is cutting his profit out of your trade in number.

I definitely realize I am going to take a pretty good hit on the explorer, but selling cars privately is such a pita, I am willing to do it. I agree too that as long as the numbers work, they wont mind paying extra for my vehicle. I am only looking to get 12-13k for a vehicle that would retail in the 20k range, so it should work out!
