CA market sucks right now. I'm in need of a diesel, not in a hurry, but working out of my fj80 and borrowing trucks sucks. I'm looking at/ for one of the following two:
-98.5-2002 Dodge 2500/ 3500 cummins, 5 or 6 spd, 4x4, SRW, quad cab, short bed. Not too particular on interior options, no rust, small dings ok and minor interior as would be expected on an older truck. Better mileage, better engine, IMO, limited interior room
-1995-1998 Ford 250/ 350 powerstroke, 5 spd, 4x4, SRW, 4 door, short bed. Same deal as before. I am NOT a ford guy, but the true 4 doors do appeal to me. Less mileage, still a decent motor, more interior room.
Any other advice or suggestions?
I've searched CL briefly in CO, ID, CA, WA, OR, NM. I can't hit them all. I've found some I have called or will call on, but would like someone local to look at trucks before I commit to a flight out. Anyone willing to help or know of any good trucks for sale? I'm kind of setting the rockies as my boundary for the time being. For now setting the budget at $13k. I will be paying cash, not looking at or for "dealer" trucks at this time.
