Thinning the vehicle fleet, 1997 F250 PowerStroke diesel

213k. 3rd owner. 2wd/rwd. Needs work. Trailer away. Clean title.

Open to reasonable offers. Sick of mowing around it.

Thanks for reading.

How much are you paying someone to haul it off? 

Can you expand on "needs work"?

Yeah, kinda vague there...

When the batteries are charged, it’ll run. Been through a few injector driver boxes in the past. Needs a RF steel brake line. Parked since 08 or 09?

Man, I wish I was closer. That would be an awesome replacement for my Dakota. 

Any estimate of approximately how much you would like to get for it? I have been looking for a tow rig.

Yea, I just didn't know if you expected to get $2000 out of it and would be offended by my $500 offer...

No offense taken. I can ignore as good as anyone else.

I know it’s probably worth more but a 10 year parked diesel is gonna take some time and money to bring back to life.  Would $1,000 be enough to induce you to part ways with it?

In reply to KyAllroad (Jeremy) :

Damn you jumped my $501 offer. 

Guys, running, this has to be a $5k truck. Well, cleaned up and the interior looking as good as the exterior. Brake lines are a common problem on these and the next generation. I don't think 2k is too bad. Just my 2c.

Not to horn in, or hijack, but my 93 IDI NA, 4x4 supercab long bed, will be up for sale in a month or 2.

Sitting 8-9 years scares me a bit, since diesel doesn't weather well. 

I once had a company truck that was the same thing except for a 460 gas engine and a 1986 model and that thing would beat the stuffing out of you.  Granted, it would pull anything you hitched to it.   

The 91-97 are a little better for ride, just like the 99-03 is a step up. The biggest concern on the PSD would the the injectors. On that one I would upgrade anyway and replace the glow plugs and harness/valve cover gaskets anyway.

That's good to hear.

They still ride like trucks, though. They just don't destroy your kidneys.

I worry about my fillings too.  I have a bunch of them. 

$1800.
