Overpriced truck; '97 F-350.

[Hirev]

The good news is my local ford dealer has come down on the price of their 2024 ford Shelby F-250 Super Baja from $155,000.00 to $141,213.00.

He'll or she'll have a hard time selling that for $5K

They have gone up quite a bit. He might get $10k these days

 

[2strokeNorthstar]

I'm sure it didn't even cost that much new.... And that was nearly 30 years (and 300K miles) ago.

That's the story with a lot of old cars.

I would buy any of those dodges for the price they are asking long before ANY new vehicle.

That year still has ECU's that have a water intrusion issue,and wow 300K miles? It better come with 1 pound of gold, and or every thing that is mechanical and moves some how, replaced or rebuilt. Including seat controls, power windows, steering etc etc. hope they fixed the brake pedal issues, and the cowling vent leak issues, and the top cab brake/ cargo light leaking problems.

It’s a collectors item at this point, plain and simple.
How many do you see with basically NO rust in them?

Still many with no rust. I see tons around here.

That's in the California desert. In a lot of the country these trucks have rotted away, and those remaining are rarely in good shape.

The fact is to a certain group of people, these are highly desirable. As I and others have said. It wouldn't surprise me if this seller gets his price.

but its the lejuhndairy 7.3

an engine I loathe and I'm a ford truck guy

a 7.3 turbo charged diesel that throws a cel for high egt's towing an empty roll off trailer attempting to do the speed limit

an engine so reliable you have to keep a spare cps in the glove box
