Hello everyone I'm new to this site an new to the diesel world I am trying to buy a 2001 7.3 f250 2wd with 190,000 miles on it for $8,850 I was just trying to see if anyone on here thought that was a good price or not any info would help

 

Where are you located?

Is it reasonably rust-free?

Short-bed or long?

Trim level, XL, XLT, or Lariat?

Need s'more to go on.

Sorry I'm in ocala Florida no rust short bed lariat

 

Assuming no mechanical problems that's a good deal. But with a price that low, look for mechanical problems. Pay attention to the transmission since it is a 2001.


Did someone say s'mores?

 

Do the 2001 have bad transmissions?

 

They have a mechanical diode that will fail at some point, requiring a full rebuild. But at that mileage, it's very likely that's already happened.

 

The transmissions with the mechanical diodes were only used for three quarters of the year.

On the carfax it says at 96,000 miles that the transmission was worked on so I'm hoping that has been fixed already

 

Oh an I forgot to say its a crew cab to

 

Sounds good to me. If it runs good, know mechanical problems you can see, go for it. Just remember its a 2001. Things do pop up.

 

If you can find someone who can scan for codes. AE, snap on are good ones that will work. Part store code readers wont work on these trucks.
