I found a 2002 3500 on craigslist for 12,000 with 59k miles. its a mason dump with 4x4 and a plow and new tires. Im probably going to need a mason dump next spring (although itd be great to have one now) and came across this beauty and im debating on going to look at it. what would you pay for it. what parts of the truck should i pay close attention to other then the trans.

I want that ford....

 

I think you have to go look at it. Depends on what the condition the rest of the truck is in. Check that the plow and dump bed function properly. Offer 10k and see what he says.

 

I noticed how he typed "ASKING" $12,000 in all bold for the ram but not the ford. Then again it could have been an accident. And also after the price it says "neg". Because of the two things I would imagine the guy would work with you on the price (at least a thousand less or more?).

 

yea thats what im thinking too, looks like hes willing to wheel and deal...i want it and need it but insurance and reg. costs are holding me back...

 

Has the guy been trying to sell it for a while? Have to called him yet?
