I don't know of any way a compression test could be done on a diesel for $50. Have you ever looked under the hood on a 6.0? There isn't any room to get your hand down into anything in there without removing parts? I can't imagine the selling dealer letting someone start tearing apart the engine if there is no guaranteed sale.
I have a 6.0, stay away from them, I just paid $8,000+ last month to have the engine gone through.
To me the more important test is to check the oil temps going through the oil cooler to see what the variance is.
