Thoughts on this truck please

Thank you everyone. We're going to a few dealers this week, I'll look into this and let everyone know what I find.

They said more photos coming soon as this is a new listing, so whoever maintains their website knows nothing about cars or trucks and pulled some picture from archives that read "Ford Super Duty" :)

May or may not be THE vehicle, but I did a quick free VIN check on a website and the VIN in the ad does belong to an '08 F350......whatever it looks like.

That is not an 08 in the picture. FYI. Something's fishy.

I was just going to say the same thing, its 07 or prior so its got the 6.0 not 6.4.

I had the 6.4 and it would have cost me probably 10 grand had all the problems not been covered by warranty. My dad has a 6.0 and has had nothing but problems. Avoid any Ford diesel with the 6.0 or 6.4 if you want reliability.

This is a great example of why I haven't been able to justify buying a used truck. This truck is 6 years old with 80,000 miles and I'm not sure how reliable the motor is in it, and they want $26k.

I can buy a brand new Ram 2500 Hemi for $31-32k or a CTD model for $36-37k. Paying the extra up front and getting a brand new and better (imo) truck with a full warranty seems smarter than saving the money in return for 6 years and 80,000 miles of use. It would probably take me 7 years to run up 80,000 miles, and at the end of that 7 years I'd basically own the used truck you're looking at now versus owning a 13 year old truck with 160,000 miles on it.

Just something to think about.

Don't know about the actual truck, but the price is fair. I sold my 2005 Chevy 3500 dully (diesel) to the dealer. He gave me $18,000 for it. Turned right around, fixed a few things on it and set it back on the lot 3 days later for $25,000. So the price looks fair. Let others chime in on other concerns....
