Would you take an '06 F250 plow truck on trade?

I'd need cash...

Beemer? The next time it needs an oil change, air filter and fuel filter all at the same time it will be a total loss.

Easiest oil change to do ever.
The oil filter is on the upper part of the engine so access is easy.
Just open the hood and it's there. You can see it right behind the fan shroud.
Just don't forget to replace the washer when putting the oil pan plug back in.

Beautiful car, Jeff.

I don't know Beemers but is $1,500 too low?

It’s priced right for the miles. I’m tempted, but I’m worried about reliability. I have a 1100 mile round trip commute.

Nice looking car for that kind of money. It shows that you have taken care of it, too

I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car to South Florida and back with it.
This car is dependable.

Around here, the general rule is that if it passes smog and rolls, it's worth a grand. I could seriously see that car on a used lot asking 4,999. They may not get it, but they would ask it.

I'm thinking of removing the spare tire and stock rim and keeping it.
It has never been touched and looks brand new, center cap and all.
It would make a great barn ornament.

Seems to fairly priced with a honest description. Should move fairly easily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Back in the late 80s, my friend listed his wife's mid 70s Subaru with 270K on it for $475 ( good price at the time )

One guy wanted to give him $250 and wanted a two year warranty on it.

Hey Jeff, I'll buy your car for $1200 if you put a 2 year warranty on it.

Gone in 1 day for $1350.00.
I asked $1500, the guy offered $1200, I countered at $1400, he said $1250.
I told him to get in and take it for a test beat.
He came back and parked it behind the trailer.
$1350.00 it is.
Sorry to see it go but it was definitely time, after 14 years.
I rode that thing hard and put it up wet and she loved it.
I'm happy though.
