Truck shopping

[2diamondfarm]

After having a 2004 F250 with the 6.0 diesel for over 10 years it has enough body rot that it needs to be replaced and I am tired of the expensive repair bill that came with the 6.0.
I am looking for a 2005 4x4 f250 ex cab or crew cab with the V10 with as little rust as possible , I found one in the Denver area on auto trader and it was sold when I was emailing back and forth with a sales man .
Any other places to look other that auto trader or Ebay motors ?

Craigslist is hit or miss, but you can do a nationwide search with what you are wanting.

Instead of emailing, I would call and talk to the person on the phone. Too many scammers use email, and you never know how long it will take a person to look at their email. I normally check my email in the morning, and that's about it.

I have never purchased a used vehicle. I've seen too many "problems" that get laid upon folks who purchase used. There can be more than enough problems even when purchasing new.

I purchase the Taco Wagon - 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon - new in 2019. I have had no problems with this vehicle after 35K miles.

This vehicle - my only road vehicle - was purchased completely for FUN.

I do not haul, I do not tow. I'm retired and NOW it's time for me to have some fun.

I can afford a new truck but I don't want to pay that kind of money for a truck that is not my every day driver . I have never bought a new vehicle my TYM 574 that I bought in 2020 is the first brand new thing with wheels I have ever bought

Six months ago, a brand new Ram 3500 diesel 4x4 was in the mid to high $80's. I just saw an add for one at a dealer for $65

I've read that the market is saturated and they cannot find buyers. Maybe that's true.
