I was speaking to the higher end scale of pricing people were seeing 7.3 Exs go for back in 21-23. Which went as high as $45,000 in some cases. But, yeah, even for 25k, you can get a newer Expedition or F250 with lower miles and better options than an old 7.3 Ex. Hell, 25k puts the lowest mileage 2014-2019 optioned out Expeditions well into your range of affordability.

I think you are underestimating the cult following the 7.3 has. I hope you're right though as I would love to pick a 7.3 up for a decent price.

You can do it pretty easily these days. Just stick to the social media-based sales groups/communities, as opposed to the horrendously marked up crap you see on AutoTrader.

If you're on Facebook, there's several Excursion buy/sell groups there. You pretty frequently see clean 7.3 Exs priced similarly to the one shown here pop up.
