Yup. Selling the old Ford. For some reason I feel sad.

How comes?

Post by **dusred** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 2:12 pm

It has 305,000 miles and I can't say I'd trust it to bring me on a 2,500 trip if I needed it too.

What's the point of a truck with a bed that can't completely contain a sheet of plywood?

Post by **Razi** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 3:49 pm

To carry things that aren't sheets of plywood.

Post by **AppleBonker** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 3:52 pm

Towing?

Post by **Razi** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 3:59 pm

Carrying messicans?

Wed Jan 19, 2011 4:23 pm

Isn't that a 400% markup over what you paid for it?

Also, nice to see legal lights back on it.

They're legal, pal. And they're on my new truck now.

Towing. The shorty's are much easier to navigate around the cramped cities. And though I've never actually tried it I'm pretty sure you can fit a full piece of plywood in it.

Oh so you went to court?

But seriously, didn't you pay $3000 for that thing?

Post by **dusred** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 4:40 pm

If you remember right I just got a warning for them. "I'll give you a ticket next time I see you with them". Funny thing is is I drive past that cop several times a week and he's never bothered me again. Maybe he went and did some research?

I paid $3,500 but I bought it from my Uncle who was going to trade it in at a dealer when fuel prices were $5.00 for Diesel. I guess I could say my Uncle was very stupid and I happened to be at the right place at the right time with money. Luck? Maybe so.

Maybe he'll hit you up when his quota is low. And I do remember that you started out calling it a "ticket" and changed your tune.

Well you reach for the sky with that asking price. Other than the grill, the fender-bender push bar, and the wheels, I have a real soft spot for white F-250s.

Post by **dusred** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 4:55 pm

I got a ticket for the tinted windows. Meh. If he wants to give me a ticket for it let him. I'm prepared to take it to court and I'll even post the results here if it ever does happen.

I'm shooting high but I'm in no hurry to sell and this place is filled with 7.3's. Parts are very readily available everywhere. If it doesn't sell within a week or two I'll lower it down. Meanwhile I'm enjoyin' the new dually. Pulls my 28' cargo trailer much, much better.

It's fairly obvious mine and your tastes clash but that's cool. I think the wheels are awesome and the grille looks 100X better than the black plastic stock one that was in it. The push bar is meh but I don't have anything else to do with it and I'm not mounting the lights on my new truck.

Wow that price seems super high considering it's not really in running shape and has 305k miles.

I hope you an get close to what you're asking.

Agreed. That said, I'll give him a standing offer of what he paid for it, travel considerations negotiable.

Post by **IanS** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:18 pm

How's the front end (ball joints, idler, pitman, arms, and all the tie rods?

Does it have the vacuum hub locks in the front, and are they still functional?

When was the last time it saw a new fuel filter?

Im looking at getting in to a bigger truck. Diesel is a must, although I would prefer a Duramax or a Cummins, they are really expensive. I wish I could get a Nissan Titan with a Cummins, that would be WIN. Especially if it had an Allison behind it.

Post by **alms24sebring** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:35 pm

Hopefully its a simple issue. I actually kinda liked your truck and it looks like its in relatively good condition. Time to change the ol' sig and cars list. Gotta make money, and its obo of course..

Whats the new whip anyways?

My friend just sold his that had 320,000 and in non-running condition. It was a white long bed and the body wasn't in near as good of shape. it was also a 99. He got $9500 out of it. I expect to get around 8,000.

Even at 305,000 it still books for 12,000 private party in good condition. In poor condition it books for $10,000. I just barely bought another truck and from what I've seen while looking they're going for about 2 grand above book.

The ball joints are probably about due to get replaced. I took it to a mechanic a while back and he said they were tight but I know they haven't been done in over 100,000 miles. The front hubs are manual. I put a new fuel filter in it about 100 miles ago to see if that was the issue.

The Ford is by far the highest maintenance truck our of the three. I'd recommend a Dodge if you don't care about having a nice cab.

Pretty close to the same thing, actually. Its a long bed 2001 F350 dually with 150,000 miles. It's a Lariat so it has a nicer interior. Exterior is also white (wonder where my nice mirrors and front end went?

).

The bad: it's a 2WD

But for the price I paid for it I can't complain.

I'll do the same, but +1$

Post by **Kenrik** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 7:00 am

I remember purchasing a 1996 V10 Dodge Ram Dully for only $10,000 with only 60k on it in 2001 (5 years old). My mom still has it.

The pickup truck market down here in Florida is WAY different than it is up north.. trucks down here go dirt cheap.

Sry Double post FTML.

Post by **alms24sebring** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 7:07 pm

Mmm. F350's, aww 2wd. Owell. Hope it doesnt cause you problems.

305k miles... its just breaking in for a diesel

It's probably the suspension and body that's he's worried about falling apart.

Actually a pretty tight truck for that many miles. Why do you think I bought another one?

Post by **Dattebayo** » Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:30 pm

Don't give me that squinty look. 200K on any car or truck is going to have suspension issues, and yours has 300K... And if you can't trust it, why are you selling it for so much?

You are surprisingly short on details as to why you deem it so untrustworthy, so why wouldn't we start making guesses?

You ever owned one of these trucks?

You ever sold a vehicle? Start high work down.

You never asked for details.

Now stop being an a$$.

No, but he has had one stolen! That makes him an expert!

Every truck would be better with a cummins in it!
