Not a bad deal....?
Found this on Auto Trader. Could make somebody a good low priced truck. Would definitely need to be checked out though.
Cars for Sale: 2001 Ford F250 in KINGSTON, NY 61607: Truck Details - 282301735 - AutoTrader.com
Not sure about the address. On the add it states Peoria, IL.
Oh, maybe it's a SCAM!

That truck was listed on cl here in Oklahoma. IIRC, Tulsa. The person listed all the upgrades they had done, but the price was much more that that. It is hard to tell, but the tag kind of looks like an older Oklahoma tag. Be careful, that price is really cheap.

Maybe I missed it by I only saw "V8" for engine details and no pics. Could be a 5.4 and with those big tires I'd bet that tranny is roasted and the engine not far behind. If it's a 7.3.... still could have issues but I'd at least consider it then. Only thing I'd use a 5.4 engined Super Duty for would be a show truck that sits 99.999% of the time.

There are LOTS of bogus scam ads on AutoTrader. I was "looking" at one yesterday. I just PM'd you the links to one of them to compare.
Be aware, be VERY aware.
If you enter into negotiations, and the guy tells you it's ANYWHERE other than his front yard, run! Accept no shipments AT ALL! If he can't meet you at his local police station parking lot to show it to you, with transfer paperwork in hand, take a pass.
Remember the old adage, "It it looks too good to be true, it is".

Dangit, it's too far away from me, it moved to Wylie, TX. Here's an email I got from the "seller". Maybe someone can run the VIN and see what it is and where it is.
Hi again,
The truck has 106,000 miles and is in excellent condition. It has been kept clean, never been smoked in, no bodywork or paintwork ever and there are no fluid leaks. Nothing needs replacing, everything works perfectly.
This is the VIN:1FTNW21F21EC72119. The truck is registered in my name and there is no lien on the vehicle. I have the clean and clear title ready for transfer.
I had listed the truck in various locations with in auto trader but the truck is located in Wylie, TX. like i told we will use eBay Vehicle Purchase Protection, so we can both be protected and insured.If you want to buy it please email me your full name and address for shipping so I can initiate the transaction through eBay. After that they will contact you with all necessary information about this transaction(terms,buyer protection,payment instructions,invoice,etc.)
Here are more pics... 2001 Ford F250 photo, picture, image on Use.com
Thanks,
Erica

If its listed on auto trader, why would Ebay do the transfer. This same SCAM was run by a gal in New Jersey about 4 or 5 months ago. Same wording and same excuses as to why the turck was moved from one location to another. That truck was maroon color. Same BS about Ebay. Its A SCAM!
