I think that would be what you would expect to pay on the high end at a dealer.
I think US dollars wise I would be willing to shell out low 30's.

I don't mean to steal the thread, but I am looking at an '08 F250 with 6.4L diesel as well. I had them give me an Oasis report on the truck and I'm torn about whether or not I should even give it a second thought. The truck appears to be in very good condition interior and exterior, I am just a little concerned about the engine issues with the 6.4. The engine was replaced at 45K due to too much oil and bending rods. What are your guys thoughts?

Hmm, I dont know what Id do, a new engine is nice, but the problems would make me want to look elsewhere.
As for my situation, I emailed the salesman about it, mentioned a bit more off the selling price..havent heard anything back. Ive moved on anyways, the 450 is too much truck for my needs/wants. Im now looking at a late build 2008 f350 dually,lariat, with 45,xxx km on it. Got price to 40k even so far.

Degas looks good, clean pipes. So I think I would go a step further and drive it.

Here's the official 08 brochurewww.jomacltd.com/ford-trucks/2008-F-Series.pdf
The info is located on page 4 (repeated on page 15) which deals with the 2008 6.4 and its power output of 350/650. In the footnotes it says that the engine is 325/600 when the F450 is equipped with a manual transmission OR the 4.88 rear end regardless of transmission. Therefore, per Ford, it was in standard tune for those of us with the 2008 F450 w/4.30s and torqshift.
This does NOT seem to be true of the 2010s. The 2010 Ford literature confirms the engine IS detuned throughout the F450 range.
I don't want to help on pricing as I don't like to give bad advice and the CDN currency and market has me lost. That said, use the above info to your advantage.
Btw, do I ever hear you on the "once you've had black you'll never go black!!"
