2016 F450

So there were no buyers at $56k for over a year? Sounds like you can drive a very hard bargain. Offer $45. Put the cashier's check on the table. If they say "no" stand up, pick up the check, walk out and drive home. They will call you.

Oh! And when they say plus tax, license and document fees...stand up, pick up the check,...

Going to look at a 2016 F450 Platinum on Saturday. They are asking $56000. Has 43000 miles and dealer has had it for close to a year. Clean Carfax.

Not a huge Ford fan, my 6.0 cost me a small fortune to repair but this looks like a good deal and should be able to get at a lower price. Dealer seems motivated to sell it.

Any issues I need to be aware of or concerns?

????? Dealer has had a 2016, I repeat a 2016 F450 for almost a year and it haa 43K miles on it. Did you mean 4300?????

Yeah, at 43,000, that truck was driven hard and put away wet nearly every day. At 4,300, it's been coddled and is ready for work now.

The 6.7 is in its seventh generation and compared to the problems they had with Navistar, Ford is happy and can't complain. Early years had some issues with ceramic bearings failing in turbos according to these videos posted on You Tube by power strokehelp.com . Currently I have a 6.4 and have not had problems thus far, but my mileage is extremely low. If you get a chance check them out. Good luck with purchase. Make sure to drain water separator every month which is located under frame rail. As with all the new new trucks water in the fuel system will lead to catastrophic failure. Stick with a reputable gas station and I would recommend going to the same filling station as much as possible .

According to the dealer they got the truck 0n June 6, 2016 with 23000 miles and used up until Jan. Of 2017 to transport cars adding over 22000 miles to the truck. Original owner had for 11 months. Carfax see to back his statements.

Some dealer jockey transporting heavy loads of cars seeing how fast he can take off from stop lights or race other people up the hills for 22,000 miles would make me a little nervous. So they haven't been sitting on it for a year trying to sell it - in seven months they drove it like mad with heavy loads.

Big difference, Bill. Nervous is right.

Will they give you a full Ford Oasis report on it?

What's wrong with heavy loads, is't that what a F450 is built for?
