SFR Testing the waters - 2000 F250 Lariat 4x4 7.3L Powerstroke - low miles

Part of me wants this. Our 1500 GMC can either tow a boat or haul the Scout. 250 diesel could do both.

Boat? Did you say boat?
What boat?
Ha

The boat that I will likely regret buying shortly after making the purchase which is likely sometime in the next year or so.

You should trust that part of you that says it's a good idea.

Me wants too…. But, I already have a truck and really don’t have room for two.

For anyone wondering why the 7.3 has such a following: they’ve got a reputation for being bomb-proof, without the DEF/DPF/EGR stuff on newer diesels. Not the fastest or quietest thing out there, but a solid workhorse. Finding one with 88k that hasn’t been worked to death is the unusual part with this one and why I’m still not convinced selling it is in my best interest.

Redoing a master bath with a budget in mind is a classic mistake. My happiest customers were those that had no budget.

I mean, it's less of a "budget in mind" and more "budget constraints." I'm not in the "has no budget concerns" tax bracket.

bathrooms...back in Half Moon Bay, over the years had remodeled most of the beach home we had raised our three kids in myself...when the time came to refresh the master bathroom hired a contractor friend. What started out as a refresh turned into a 25K remodel, and that was 22 years ago. When we sold the house to move to Oregon the wife of the couple that bought it said she fell in love with the bathroom.

Current plan is to give it some time here while I get it more prepped to be sale ready. If nobody wants to discuss a deal here, I'm going to sell it on Bring a Trailer where it'll likely fetch me the top dollar I can get for it.

Man I would love that truck! Problem is I got a 2010 Silverado with 90K miles for less than half that over 4 years ago. Diesel is amazing for towing but the cost difference is way waaaaaaaaay beyond worth it. You need to absolutely need it to and it worthwhile.

Thank you for talking others here into alternatives
