First time diesel buyer

[Potaco80]

I'm looking to buy a 2000 F250 Superduty XLT Entended Cab, 7.3 LT Powerstroke Turbo Deisel, Rebuilt rear by Ford, Brand new Oil Cooler, Two brand new front tires, New front brakes, Passenger side has new hub and wheel bearing, brand new batteries. Truck has 180,156 miles on it and the rebuilt motor has 50,156 miles on it, also has dp tuner chip and 6 in suspension lift, the guy is asking $10,500 for it

Potaco, sounds like a pretty solid deal. I snagged mine with a less than 10,000 mile old transmission and torque converter for $10,400. And it had some gnarly body damage to the bed - no big deal. $10,500's pretty solid. I'd think you could get him to $9,000 if he's really trying to move it.

Have you looked at some of the other posts about evaluating if a truck is worth buying or not?
1.) 2001 f250
2.) What to look for
3.) What to look for when buying a USED 99-03 PSD

That should put you in the right direction, evaluating whether or not the repair costs are going to make you change your price.
