does this sound like a wise choice?

Howdy all,
I'm in the market for something that is out of my scope of my knowledge at this point. I've been doing a bunch of research but the info that comes up seems do contradict itself at every turn.
I'm looking for a SD ford truck in diesel format. My budget is 13K at the most but would rather spend less if I can. I don't mind getting a truck shipped to me and actually kind of prefer it as I know I would get a rust free truck like that.

What do you think of this?
Ford : F-250: eBay Motors (item 230519323624 end time Sep-07-10 19:02:02 PDT)
Too much going on and I might be inheriting someones headache? I like this one because of the year and engine and that it's a one owner. Most of the other newer body styles that I am looking at are just ebay jobs that are from a wholesaler. That has a tendency to scare me a bit more.
That truck is also a bonus because I'd like to visit a missed friend in FL

Either way I look forward to the advise. Thanks a lot, Mike.

This truck was the topic of another recent thread... did you notice that it is a 2X4, not a 4X4 truck?

Wow, I really can't believe I missed that. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Not that it matters now, but what was the other topic?
Thanks for the welcome too.

Whatever you end up choosing, if you get the chance to see it before you purchase it here is a little truck buying guide that is a good reference for the 7.3's good luck. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...questions.html
