Do you think I am off my rocker?

i rescently came across a 2000 f250 psd 4x4 a/t CC LB, the front clip has been taken apart and needs the motor put in it(they said new but i am guessing reman) and it just needs a computer. the guy wants $2,000 for it the way it sits with all parts . here is the crazy part, i am pretty sure i am going to buy it, but not to keep. i am going to put it all back togather just to turn around and sell it (hopping for $12,500), just to put the money i need into the 91 idi, turbo, tires/wheels, 6-speed, rear discs . Does this make me crazy ?

Not really but the thing you have to look at when steppin up to a project it do I have the time. Don't think you are crazy did the same thing when I bought my baja for 5,000 was going to turn around and sell it really quick but took it out a few times and blew the stern drive up. That was a 2 month set back and 2,000 fix. But really didn't have the time to work on the boat. That was the only problem. Finally year and half later got rid of it. Worth it when you sell it, just wish it didn't take as long. Good luck on you decision.
