Not huge on the mods but that could be fixed easily and the resale value on those are great, they lose value very slowly compared to something like an old 3000. I say do it!

Only thing I'm worried about is that 160k miles. Truck wasn't beat or anything, just daily miles. Has a tuner bd diesel upgraded turbo wheel, custom grille, new led headlights, fender flares, lifted on 35s with rockstar rims. Definitely love the look and quality of the truck. How much would it be to turn the interior into vinyl or leather? Not much of a cloth guy

160k is less than half the life of an average 7.3. Not too sure on the interior, probably pretty expensive and not sure if it'd be worth it but I wouldn't be worried about the truck, it looks solid.

I am big into diesel's (Cummins FTW)and I will personally say we haul hay, cattle, horses, farm equipment etc. on the daily basis with my buddys old 7.3 with 463,xxx miles truck still running like a top. I personally think it's a great trade.

I don't plan on hauling much besides some quads, firewood, stuff like that. Gotta haul the quads out of this suburban area to ride. I miss having 20+ acres.

Yeah it's nice. Especially bring my insurance down since I'm 16. Plan on using it as a daily driver to school and such, and probably to haul quads out to ride them. Probably doing the trade this Saturday.

Point I was attempting to make though is that the mileage means nothing my friends speaking about diesels that is. It does when it comes to minor repairs, *to me their minor that is.

Bro that truck is sweet i would go for that. Only if its mechanically stable though.

Something doesn't sound right. If it is legit then that is a hell of a deal, the 7.3L has been deemed the "indestructible" engine. Diesels don't really break in until 200k miles, it should be fine until 300-400k. I think something is majorly wrong with that truck if he is doing a straight trade for your car.

As Long as the truck is mechanically stable then I myself would do the deal. The 7.3 is one of fords most desirable motor. Is it a turbo diesel? The turbo diesels hold higher value over the non turbo diesel. But non turbo still has a demand. Now in terms of miles 160k on the 7.3 is like 40-50k on a gas engine. The 7.3 will last forever.

Seems fishy.. That engine will go unitl 300k miles atleast. Somethings wrong with that truck if hes wanting a straight trade. BE careful op.

All im going to say is though repairs on a 3000GT is a pretty penny, if I ever had one I would never get rid of it. That thing has such fantastic potential for a gnarly drift spec mod.
