I dont know, but it was substantially more to insure the 350 then it was to insure the 250's. And yearly registration was $100 more for the 350

Portland. Doesn't say how many miles though.

Damage behind both rear tires and on the tailgate not to mention rubber floors.

Got an e-mail today confirming this!

Saw this one tonight. Not stoked on the 2 tone paint but seriously thinking about it.

Chuck 06-09-2012 07:56 AM

Do it get a truck fly up and drive it back down.

Shaolin Crane 06-09-2012 08:55 AM

I'd still do the gray one

SeanPlunk 06-09-2012 08:57 AM

I found better red ones than that. Didn't know you were okay with red. That one is ugly.

I missed this thread and Im not going to read through it, but I say if youre not prone to broken bones and you deal with pain well, go for it. Just realize you will go down, its only a matter of when.

As far as size, heres a tip, the 600s weigh as much as the 750s and the liter bikes. So only go with a 750 if youre worried about the power.

Vettezuki 06-14-2012 01:23 PM

He's ditched the bike idea and has gone for getting a big ole diesel.

So Guy forwarded me a 99 F-250 7.3L with 150K on it and I contacted the seller because the price is dirt cheap. Almost seems to good to be true.

eBay Auction link

So I got a Reply from the seller that has me kind of worried about pursuing the purchase...

E-mail:
The truck is already at a shipping company in Denver, CO. I took the ford to them to be able to ship it to a potential buyer because I am located out of the city due to occupational obligations so unfortunately this means I can not meet you in person. My brother in law works there, and he promised me that it will cost me nothing to ship it. I listed the truck on eBay Motors and that lets me use their secured system. According to eBay you have 3 days from the time you receive the truck to inspect it, test it, verify that everything is in order and decide if you want to keep it or not. I've included the eBay auction link below, the only remaining thing is to press buy it now option and follow the eBay instructions. I really hope this isn't uncomfortable for you but I need to sell it using eBay due to the fact that I can not do it personally, so we are both protected and insured .

Anyone purchased a vehicle off ebay like this?

Thanks.

Shaolin Crane 08-22-2012 07:17 PM

I received the same email word for word, it's a scam. Sucks cause the first few emails seemed legit

Ryridesmotox 08-22-2012 09:11 PM

I wouldn't bid on that scam of a truck.

Leedom 08-22-2012 09:40 PM

Looking at it further...Total scam! If you look at the link he sent it does not include ebay in it. I am going to play along though and tell him I have family in Colorado (which I actually do) that would be willing ot come see the truck. See what happens.

SeanPlunk 08-22-2012 10:37 PM

It's a scam. Look at this. The same truck has been for "sale" for years all over the country...

Shaolin Crane 08-23-2012 12:19 AM

It was somewhat believable since i've had a few buddies lately pull killer deals on similar condition trucks, seems the scammers are trying to take advantage of that

Ryridesmotox 08-23-2012 11:30 AM

Honestly if I'm gonna scam someone, I'm gonna do it for like 30grand not 5.

Completely diffierent criminal level between 5k and 30k. Plus more people have smaller amounts to drop on a deal.

Very true assuming these scammers are in the good ole USofA and not in some shithole corner of the world.

Leedom 09-03-2012 01:21 AM

What do any guys think about this one? The fact that title is not in hand concerns me. I do not know about the cracked injector either.
