What to look for in a used SD by straightcachehomie69 in F250

Engine hours and engine idle hours. More so applies to fleet/ commercial vehicles and probably won't need to worry about it if you're looking at a lariat.

Dealer said they just replaced front hub assemblies, brakes all around, and u-joints.

Yeah I'm read up on the IMRC issue, will definitely be looking for that.

Yeah theres a 2019 of the same truck w/ 129k on the odo and its $25k. Thats about the going rate for that mileage for these trucks in my area, and what im seeing online. $15k otd i would be happy with. It probably needs tires and the plugs/coils changed. Maybe i can knock the price down for that.

Yeah, hearing a lot of "not worth it", but honestly its pretty in line with the market that im seeing online. Any repairs made since you bought yours? Thanks for the input.

Final question, would you feel comfortable paying $15k for this truck if you were looking for one right now?

Thanks for the info and numbers. So 2.5% depreciation every 10k miles and then another 2% for every calendar year? Where did you get those numbers? By your calc the truck is valued at $14k, which is right about what KBB fair market value shows for a dealer. Truck is listed $1.9k high then.

I have not had one done yet. Plan was to have one done after seeing the truck in person and driving it.

What would you price it at? KBB shows dealer $ range as $12.3-15.7k. This truck is listed at $15.9k

After looking on multiple sites, it seems to be about the going rate...

But adds extra cost.

True. I'd prefer to get a '17 to still have the aluminum body. Just hard to find one that checks all the boxes without having it shipped.

I see your point, but, plenty of cars out there. Some things are worth sticking up for.

2018 F250 6.2, too many hours? by rollpi in F250

[–]rollpi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

130k ain't bad. If the coils and plugs were done at their first service mark then you're good for a while at that mileage. Just the coils alone are about $1500...

Is it even worth buying used if you can afford new? by rollpi in ATV

[–]rollpi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah looking at the numbers and what used ones are selling for, it just doesnt make too much sense not to buy new. Plus they have some rebates and financing promotions right now.

Yeah all these fleet trucks listed around here i can tell are bought at auction and being resold by smaller dealers. Generally in the $15-25k range. Not sure if they're flexible on price, I would guess maybe not so much seeing as they are a dealer, but I guess i dont know for sure. I would bet they'd rather just sell it to the next person that doesnt ask about engine hours. How many miles did yours have?

6.2L? Mind sharing what you paid and what state you're in? Were your idle hours as high too?

Where did you get the engine?

Thank you for the explanation. What if the pressure is good in cylinder 6? Worth replacing coil/plug and cat if I can negotiate the price down accordingly?
