im going to big H auto auction later today, my friend is a dealer, and he found a f350 dually up there for sale, theyre asking 11,000.00 and it has around 230,000.00 miles, the body is kinda rough, w/ dings/and scratches. but the leather inside is decent condition. its a manual tranny, and sounds like it runs good. there no excess smoke, and no fluids dripping, ac works good. i will more than likely get this truck for around 9000.00-10,000.00 cash.
the problem is, the 4x4 light on the gauge cluster is illuminated. i tested the 4x4 in the lot, and seemed to be in working order. i didnt want to drive too much in 4wd cause it was gripping pretty good, when trying to turn.
im wandering what should i lookd for, problem wise? should i look for a certain color fluid in the radiator, etc? the only inspection i can do is very minimal, i cannot bring tools and start ripping it down.
this is a dealer auction where all the cars around the houston and surrounding areas run through.
thanks for any input
*edit*
the truck looks as though its obviously been worked.
