'08 F350 cab/chassis diesel pricing?

Local craigslist has an '08 F350 Diesel cab/chassis with 70 miles on it listed for $23,500....I think it is an XLT, and it's Sapphire blue, really pretty.

Is $23,500.00 a good price for it? Can be had with a 1 year old dump body for $25K...

I think it's a great deal, but would like your opinions.

Thanks.

I would have sworn this was the '08 Ford Diesel general question forum...
Maybe I should have wrapped the question up in a query about how to get more smoke from my truck or maybe one about the best polish for my 22" wheels...

Not enough info to give you a good opinion.

The least-expensive F-350 chassis cab diesel has an MSRP of 30,750 with zero options. Add XLT trim and it's $35,540. I've never seen a truck with an optional engine but zero other options, so the MSRP is probably higher than that.

If it's an XLT, that sounds like an excellent price. Over $12,000 less than MSRP, and for a stripper that's a lot.

If it's an XL with no options, not even AC, then that's 7,250 less than MSRP. Not such a great deal in today's market, plus you'll hate it with plastic seats and no AC.

If it's being sold as a "used" truck, then I wouldn't buy it until I knew exactly why the owner decided to sell it with less than 100 miles on the odo. Unless somebody died the day after he bought it, I'd be leary of a repaired wreck.
