Re: Ford Diesel Van Buying Questions. Can you offer advice?

Hmm.. well nothing would really be "van specific" that you would really need to check out. I believe there is a list of stuff that you are supposed to check somewhere around here. Maybe someone will be kind enough to post it soon, because i am the super lazy mofo who doesn't remember anything, therefore i don't remember where it is. You should make sure you get all the previous service records, make sure they didn't run the wrong coolant in it, make sure it's never been in any accidents.

I would bet a van that new with that many miles would probably be in pretty good condition. As long as they broke in the engine correctly the engine should be in good shape.

It probably gets about 15 mpg on average, and hmm.. 29k almost sounds a little high for a price, i would think 25k might be a little more correct. I remember hearing about a 2001 F-350 with like.. 100k miles on it go for like.. 15,000 bucks.

Well.. i'll post stuff as i can think of it. Look around for that used buyers list of stuff to look out for, i know larry M knows where it is, maybe he'll post it.
