96 stroker price question

[deerhuntindtackle57]

Friend of my dad has a '96 F250 stroker reg cab longbed 2wd. hes thinkin of gettin rid of it soon, and im thinkin of takin it off his hands at a good price. think its got about 200k and some odd miles. has typical ford rust not bad. wasnt beat on and is still stock. what do you guys think would be a good price to take this thing away ? thanks for yer opinions

Id say around 4000. Make sure the rust is rust and not rot. i.e.: its just rusty and not actual rot holes. Make sure it doesnt burn oil or anything. If it is all good running and a ok. Also Id ask him about the tranny, especially if it had a gn/5th wheel

Imo 4000 is too much for a rusty '96 2x4 with 200+ on the clock.

Hmm, well when he says rust Im thinking just fender and maybe rocker panel rust. Id honestly have to see the undercarriage. Thats where a lot of it counts.

Ive looked at the truck before and its not rot, just typicall rocker panel rust. undercarriage is typical of any mid 90's rig from N Ohio aint good but aint bad. and i agree I think for a 2x4 that isnt mint 4000 would be a bit to much for me personally. Good idea about the tranny though i forgot all about that, he does pull a big honkin boat with it. on the other hand though i know he grannys it everywhere since diesel is over 3 bucks a gallon


would $3000 be somethin i could get away with?
