Is this a good price?

[duramaxphil]

Hey guys I'm from the dieselplace the (duramax) board. But my brother in law is looking at a 2000 f250 ext cab with 140,000 miles on it. It is in good condition and looks very clean and he wants 16,800 for it. Is this a good price for a powerstroke? If not what is a good price to offer him?

thanks, I dont know to much about powerstrokes.

If its clean I say yes. That is also one of the preferred years for a 7.3 since it has forged rods.

that sounds alright, around here i'd offer him 15,000 though

Phil,

Welcome to SDD, glad to see you here from DP. You didnt mention if it is a 2x4 or 4x4 and what options it is equipped with. Assuming it is a loaded 4x4 XLT thats not a bad price, but as suggested...lowball him. You prolly already know that though.

I guess I will tell him to offer 15k, I couldnt get him to go for a duramax
thanks guys,
Phil

Let us know how it turns out Phil, and in the event he goes through with it, point him in our direction.

i sure will he hauls rock for his dads rock quarry. hes married to my sister, so we've gotten close and hes been asking about getting a diesel truck. He knows a lot about diesels in the big rigs, but he says he doesnt know a thing about a diesel in a regular truck. So I'll tell him about you all.

Offer 14500 and haggle from there. don't pay more then 16000 most allow room to haggle, I should know I do it as a hobby hehehe.

Good luck get picks, as for a detailed maint record, bounce questions off of him like driving habits, towing, looks are good but they can be deceptive. Treat it like a woman, if it seems to good to be true it is, the screen play will be over and then the truth appears. **** here comes the wife Good luck man.
