So I got this great chance to pick up a 2003 f250 super duty with the v10 triton motor auto trans cloth beige interior with 2 DVD screens. Get this...it has 37000 miles and there asking 18k also has auto running board tow package truck liner and it's lifted on new swampers and 20 or 22's but clean not ghetto fabulous. Also has a little exhaust system. I'm a first time buyer so how should I go about the financing and all the good stuff. Also anybody got any insight I to one of these trucks? Thanks cafords

Insight:
Better invest in oil refinery stocks because that V10 is going to go through ALOT of gas
V10 is underpowered and VERY thirsty

First off I wouldn't finance anything unless I had to or could guarantee myself I could flip it for at least some profit the next day.
What do you do where you need a V10? Especially an underachieving one at that. If you NEED the size and power diesels are a much better option.

Stay far away from that V10. Gets way less mpg then deisel and with less tow power. What ever mods it has, you can buy them with the gas you save.

Is there a reason why u want a truck? Just want one or do you really need one? Personally I don't like driving trucks kuz theres no point unless you're towing something.

Not to be a Dick but Most the cars people buy aren't because they need one, its cause they want it..I'm sure u don't "need" a mustang and I dont "need" a Corvette when I already have a fast car. Might jus be something he likes.

Well neight truth is a truck opens doors if it's capable of doing a lot. I mean look at lee he offers towing an hauling with his truck and I bet he can carry more ply wood and 2x4's than any mustang ever could. and maybe I work at an independent shop and we need to go pick up or drop off a customers car I become a very valuable employee along with my mechanical skills. I'm a multifaceted dude so if I'm remodeling a house with my dad my mustang or Lexus won't be the one to carry tools. If Im going to get a engine from Dan I'm not gonna do it in a Lexus. If I'm buying rims an tires a bed will help a lot. And I got plenty of fam and a 4 door crew cab is a people hauler lol sorry for the rambling I'm just putting in my .02

Trucks are awesome work, fishing, outdoors stuff you can't do in a car plus when you drive a truck you meet a ton of chicks that would never talk to a car guy lol but like everyone else said beware of the V10 you will get raped at the gas station on a regular basis. As far as financing hell we all have to finance a car at some point everyone acts like they have 20k to drop up front on a vehicle I call BS just make sure you get a term and percentage rate you are good with in case something changes in your life.

In some ways that's true but lee tows with a diesel and you can bring tools to a jobsite in a compact car you only need a truck once for a job to bring materials so the truck would sit until you have another job to bring materials to a job site and you don't need TVs and big rims and tires to do any of those things if you just want a truck just to have a nice truck go for it but if your getting one so the truck can work for you the truck you chose is the wrong choice IMO but ultimately the choice is yours to make just thi k it through before you make a choice like this

My buddy Jerome had the same truck tune ups were not cheap and the thing went through gas like it was free in the end he got rid of it and lost his ass he ended up getting the diesel version of it. the diesel was a better truck and investment plus you get free fuel when you drive a big rig ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) like we do
