Seeking encouragement
Questions:
-How is this price?
- Am I crazy to think I could take this on a 6 week cross country road trip, camp in it some nights, and then be my daily driver in San Diego ? (no daily commute)
- What should i ask the seller and what should i look for with my own eye?
The car:
1996 Ford F-250 XLT HD, 111k miles, seller is asking $35,000. It’s home has been central PA.
Me:
30 years old, no mechanical background, no experience with older trucks, but very thoughtful and protective of my vehicles.
I am about to move across the country from NJ to San Diego. I’ve been looking for something that thrills me for the last 12 months.
My current obsession is this OBS and I haven’t seen anything yet that has made me fall in love harder.
I’m speaking to the owner again today and i’m really excited to learn more.
I have the time and the budget to learn about this car as i own it and to keep up with it. $20k over the next 5 years would be well within my budget. I understand that can be projects.
