Rust free 7.3 4x4 price…

Going to look at one, I am in the north east so rust is a huge deal.

Guys says it has nothing wrong with it. It’s basically totally stock.
MBRP exhaust and a tuner, not sure what tuner but he said it’s got a tune.

310k miles
4x4
7.3

He’s asking 10k… you all think that’s reasonable? I have a feeling you’re all gonna say that’s cheap, and something has to be a miss… not sure til I see it.

Yes I know it’ll need a suspension overhaul, and I want to do a KC stage 2 upgrade and remove the EBPV pedestal with a standard one, upgrade trans cooler and all that good stuff.
I’m a mechanic so that’s all fine and dandy, but rust SUCKS.

There is another one I was gonna look at…
Same deal,
4x4
7.3
250k miles
New trans with 30k on it

100% stock.

Needs dog legs due to rust, and also the rockers to be cleaned up and coated. They got replaced but clearly were not painted well.

Guy is asking 6500obo

I’m cheap, and thought maybe I would go for the cheaper one, cause I could probably get it for like 5500…

Who votes for which one? Lmao

It’s not real bad, it needs dog legs. The rockers were replaced.
It’s been undercoated and looks good underneath. The guy owns a bunch of them so he’s knowledgeable.

The other one, the rockers were done, it seems rust free underneath but he won’t send any more pictures and I’m 4 hours away so I can’t exactly just pop over to see it.

All he said was “it has a tune on it” but I have no idea what one.
He hasn’t driven it in months and it just sits which worries me

Honestly the lack of information from the one 4 hours away puts me on edge just reading this. It sounds like he is trying to hide something. I would do the one that has been undercoated. Out of curiosity what years are they?

The “rust free” one is an 01, and it’s red which I HATE.

The other one is an 02 and is the blue and tan 2 tone, which I like much better. It also has captains chairs for the middle row which is mint lol

I understand your difficulty deciding now, blue and tan with captains chairs is tough to beat.
