2nd of all, if you do get a trailer make sure it has load leveling, anti-sway and good brakes so you don't end up in any Pucker Factor-11 (PF11) scare situations coming down the mountains. |
Well, I just did a little research into that F-250 Matt's friend is selling for $1500 IIRC. A 1980 XLT 4WD Extended Cab Long Bed F-250 in "Outstanding" condition (basically as good a '80 F-250 you can get) is worth about $500. The truck Matt's friend is selling is beat to hell on the exterior (but the drive-train is supposedly in excellent condition), older than 1980, and not 4WD. So unless he's willing to sell in the $500 or less range, there's no way I'm buying it.
Perhaps I'm missing something regarding that truck Matt, but $1500 is at least $1000 too much.
