Hello Group!
I'm a car guy, who would really appreciate a little truck advice!
I have an opportunity to buy an '85 F250, 460 4v, 4WD ext. cab, 4spd with
4.11s, NM vehicle, with 80k on it, in nice shape from a family member. It has a year-old Meyer plow (don't know the details, but new it was $6000 installed). I know the truck to be in nice shape; it has a new clutch and slave cylinder and has been taken care of. It's been used for plowing for one year.Since they are very soon moving to AZ, they won't need this vehicle, and are offering to me for $3000 - with the plow. They know I've been drooling over this truck for a few years, being mainly a Ford fan and liking big blocks, so I've got first dibs. This would not be a highway cruiser, esp. with
4.11s, no overdrive and gas prices where they are (!). It would be a utility and winter vehicle and be used now and again for towing. I have no use for the plow, so I'd be selling it, and have no clue where to begin, there...Some questions, if ya don't mind....
- taking this at face value, do you think it's a good deal?
- are there dealers I could just go to and sell this plow, and have them remove it?
- would you think I could get a dealer to pay me $1500 or $2000 for a nice used Meyer plow?
Many thanks. I am facing with needing to make a decision about this in the next 24-48 hours, so any honest input would be greatly appreciated.
