This truck is priced for a quick sale to the discriminating enthusiast/collector that appreciates all the details. cleanliness. and correctness of a best year 7. 3 Powerstroke. Everything correct on this truck for both finish and function. so you don't have to do a thing. Ready to work or play. Perfect advertising vehicle for your business too and can even be a tax write-off while towing your boat. show car. trailer. camper. etc. !! Shipping available at buyer's expense by a licensed. bonded and insured auto transport company that I have used for years with no issues. It is less expensive to ship at this time of year than you'd think! Price is a Buy it Now of $24. 00. No taxes. document fees. or games like other charge. collect. and play. This truck will sell. don't miss out. you will never find another like it in this condition. mileage. and all the options!! I am a full service shop very familiar with these trucks. especially the 7. 3. You want something added or changed? Not a problem. We can add anything your heart and wallet desires to make this exactly what you want and need for your exact use!! This is a 2001 F-250 4 Door Crew Cab. 6. 5 foot Short Bed Lariat (RARE COMBO!!!). It has only been driven by mature adults and never used as a work truck or beaten up. Bed never banged up and never drilled for a goose-neck or 5th wheel hitch. Not even a dent or ding in the inside of bed. just minor scratches from fishing poles and use. All it has ever towed its whole life is a small fresh water fishing boat. but can certainly tow anything you choose to. Oil changes every 3-5K miles. or once a year. what ever came first. Transmission fluid. rear end fluid. power steering fluid. and Motorcraft green coolant/distilled water are all recent. as is the serpentine belt. Motorcraft batteries etc. Truck needs nothing. It runs and drives perfect and has no leaks. seeps. drips. or issues. THE TRUCK FIRES UP EVERY TIME. FIRST TIME. THE GLOW PLUGS AND INJECTORS HAVE ALL BEEN TESTED AND ARE WORKING PROPERLY. I WOULDN'T HESITATE TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK ACROSS THE COUNTRY!! It is the nicest 7. 3 available for the money. Why save a few dollars and buy someone else's problems? This incredible F-250 truck has always been driven only on nice days since new and always garaged. All freeway miles and only on nice weather trips. Even while towing. truck has been covered when parked. Always garaged and pride of ownership and maintenance shows in every aspect of this truck! Never in the snow or salt. Never out of CA. Truck was bought new by an elderly gentleman who kept it until he traded it in for a smaller truck ( a Ranger) in 2003 with 23K miles. When his brother found out he traded it in. he went to the dealer and bought it back from them!! He kept it and babied it until his passing earlier this year where as his grandson inherited it and found it not something he needed for his lifestyle. He explained his grandfather only used it for fishing trips and swap meets and always garaged it and babied it. so this truck has basically been in 1 family since new. he told me how his grandfather would "toothbrush detail the truck from top to bottom" which is very evident. including underside. door jambs. and engine box!! A machine buffer or machine car wash this truck has never seen. No faded lights. emblems. or trim. like all the others out there. Original Ford Lariat floor mats are the heavy duty ones and look like new and have kept the carpet perfect and covered with vinyl floor mats when driven (also included with sale). Not driven on gravel roads. Underside alone speaks volumes about this truck. I own a high end Mustang shop that has been in business for 20+ years and am VERY particular with all vehicles I choose to deal with. Truck has never been abused. mudded. wrecked. raced. damaged. bumped. or driven by kids. etc. since built. All original body panels. No rust. scrapes. dents. dings. and no curb rash on the original forged wheels. This truck is absolutely exceptional through out. In my 20+ years in the Mustang business. I have rarely seen. owned. or driven a nicer built and well balanced truck that is so fantastically preserved and taken care of. I have owned over 1000 Mustangs. Shelby's. Big Block's. Boss's. Pantera's. Saleen's. Roush's. Cobra's. Lightning's etc. mostly collector models. and rarely see a vehicle (of ANY type) kept in this condition. This is the perfect tow vehicle for your collector car. It will tow like there is nothing behind it and turns heads where ever you go. Suspension is smooth and not bouncy or twitchy when driving down the road. or on the freeway. Truck is appraised and insured for $30K on a collector car policy and it is $480 per year for full coverage and agreed value of $30K. Most insurance companies will do the same for you and insure it as a collector vehicle and you can still tow with it!! Oil has been changed every year or 3-5000 miles which ever came first. Only correct 15W-40 oil used. It has always been started up and allowed to get up to operating temperature every few weeks. then driven around the block to keep all seals lubricated and to keep everything in operating condition when not taken on long trips. Always warehoused and has never spent a night outside. uncovered. No power steering moan like most have. Nothing leaks. drips. or seeps. No warning lights illuminated on the cluster. Everything works as new. Aftermarket stereo with Bluetooth capabilities and CD player does not skip. No sweat marks. stains. smells. fading etc on any exterior. or interior. Leather is like new and has been covered with seat covers since new. It really looks. drives and feels like a near new truck. Carpets are perfect and covered since new. All lights work. Has upgraded 2002-2004 lights. chrome tubular grill overlay (easily removable if you don't like it) and Snugtop tonneau cover which is lockable and weather tight (can also be removed if you don't want it). ALL ELSE STOCK!! It starts the first time. EVERY time. Brake controller added to make any trailer you tow work like there is nothing behind you. Original seat belts are not hard as a rock like most and still supple with original silk screening that still looks new. All retractors work properly too. You simply can NOT find one like this!!! This is a one in a million truck. hands down. Again. pay a little more and get a LOT more!! Underside. and inside of wheels detailed and cleaned frequently since new as is the exterior and interior. Carpet has never been shampooed. spilled on. and still looks like new with no fading. or unraveling . Inside of truck still smells of new leather. like a new truck!! Original spare (never been used and still has original silk-screening on the tread!!). jack. tire iron. and mounting hardware all original. never used and look new with original stickers. Just look at the pictures. they really explain this truck. hands down. better than I can. This truck is impeccable for the price. No accidents. and no issues. No paintwork. Many 7. 3's with more miles and not near as clean and pride of ownership have sold in the past 6 months for close to. the same as. and more than I am asking for as my BUY IT NOW. A/C ice cold. Heat hot. Brakes and suspension like new. No gear noise. slips. or issues. Care has always been taken with this truck. which is very evident in the pictures. Ice cold A/C as stated before. Does not run hot when A/C is on. Belt does not moan or squeal like some do with the AC on. Does not overheat even in 110+ degree weather. Coolant changed every 2 years with proper Ford Motorcraft green coolant. distilled water. and Ford diesel additive even when driven little. No exhaust leaks. Sounds fantastic with absolutely no odd noises or issues! Truck has never had an aftermarket tune installed or been beat on like most. Even air intake and exhaust are stock and original. Has no problems starting in cold weather either. It is very powerful and sounds great. Most of these trucks don't drive as good as they look. this one absolutely does! I have owned 18 Super Duty 7. 3 Powerstroke diesels over the years. and unfortunately 3 6. 0 and 6. 4's. 2 V10's (horrible engines!!). and quite a few Lightnings. and this truck runs. sounds and drives better than most of them. honestly. plus doesn't cost a fortune to maintain like the newer diesels. It is simple and easy to maintain and does not have tons of sensors like the new ones that go out and are very expensive to replace. Comes from the factory with no catalytic converter. no diesel particulate filter. and all the other power robbing. expensive to maintain items on the 04+ diesels!! You are basically looking at a near new truck for 1/3 the price (comparable truck actually $65K+ for a new junk diesel!!) of a comparable new one with out all the issues of the new ones. Truck is meant to be driven and enjoyed. It drives VERY well. No hesitations. back-fires. pops. squeaks. and is not all over the road like most others for sale. Looks. drives and feels like a new truck. You will not find a nicer 7. 3 Powerstroke for the money!! It is truly immaculate. The suspension is responsive and tight. steering is tight. and transmission is tight with no slippage or delayed shifts. Never has a tuner on it and never towed anything other than a 2500 lb fishing boat. Brakes are adjusted properly. and it stops very well and straight. Does not wander. shimmy. or have wind noise. even at 85 MPH on the freeway. There is not a nicer. low mileage. best year 7. 3 Powerstroke out there for this low of a price anywhere! Never abused and was never a daily driver (even when new it has been a multiple owned vehicle). All work has been professionally done on this truck since new. Has been garaged its whole life and babied. It is very powerful. reliable. and nothing has been overlooked for longevity. tastefulness. and durability. Both original keys/remotes with no wear on the buttons. two locking tonneau cover keys. and owners manuals/handouts too. 01 and 02 7. 3's also had the hi-torque starter. You won't find a nicer truck for the price. anywhere!! You are better off getting one of these trucks that have been driven. properly broken in. and properly maintained than one with super low miles that has not been properly stored or has dried up seals because of incorrect storage and maintenance. Nothing leaks or seeps on this truck (even rear main seal doesn't seep) and it burns no oil. Starts right up. first time. every time. Idles smoothly with nice deep exhaust tone. No hesitations. Very smooth power. 3. 73 limited slip differential. Gets great MPG too. 18+ MPG in town. and 20+ MPG on the freeway driving easy. If you set the cruise at 2250 RPM (7. 3's sweet spot) on level ground it will get 20-25+ MPG!! Brakes front and rear are firm. 4 wheel disc with ABS on all 4 wheels. Power assist works as it should. No shimmies. squeaks. or pulls when you step on the brakes. Parking brake works perfect. Fresh Motorcraft 75-140 synthetic fluid with friction modifier in differential. U joints tight. Transmission fluid and filter also just done and look like new inside. Both cooling system green coolant and distilled water/Ford additive new. Brake fluid also flushed and refreshed (every 2 years) and when brakes were inspected recently. they were still at over 75%!! (so you can tell how this truck has been driven). As I said before. ALL fluids and filters have always been changed well before needed!! Carpet. seats. and original console covered when driven. Ashtray and cigarette lighter never used. not even for coins or junk to mar the ashtray! Cup holder is not broken like most and pops out of dash correctly. No rattles or wind noise!! Truck will seat 5 comfortably and rear seat back folds down for extra storage in the cab. I know I keep saying it. you will not find a nicer 7. 3 for the money!! Look at the undersides on others for sale (if they even have underside pictures) they are usually rusty. oily. and filthy ( and sometimes people even spray can them all over the hoses. bolts and floor pans!!!). interiors worn and dirty. worn seats. beat up beds. and the engine boxes look awful with all aluminum corroded etc etc. Please take the time to look at my 200+ pictures and you will see the difference between this truck and the others out there for sale. You DO get what you pay for in this case!! Fully loaded and amazingly clean from top to bottom. No surprises or disappointments with this truck. Original Oxford White clearcoat paint with Harvest Gold bottom shines like new and has been waxed regularly (you can literally shave in it) and always garaged. Much more durable than today's water base paints. Look at the reflections. Never been put on a lift incorrectly. never been bottomed out. Door jambs. engine box. wheels. underside. and bed also kept clean and waxed. It looks like it was toothbrush detailed since new!! Look at the underside and frame rails. Many original markings still present along with several original stickers. Never a bent body panel. floor pan. or frame rail and never any body damage. All original Ford Carlite tinted privacy glass except windshield which has been replaced at some point and has no chips or cracks. No dents. dings. or scrapes anywhere on the body. The only flaws I can even think of. most would never notice. there is 2 minor flaws in the original tape stripe between white and gold paint on the passenger's side. one on the fender. the other on the rear bedside above exhaust pipe. there is a minor scuff on the front bumper lower plastic. a minor ding in the driver's side rear bumper. and 2 screw holes made in dash trim for cell phone holder mount. All of these I took pictures of and all are minor that most would never notice. Again. I am VERY picky (I am told the pickiest person that most of my friends know) and believe in being 100% honest about each and any flaw. I know myself. I want to know everything about something I am buying before I buy it. so I treat others the same. Looks and drives like a 20K mile truck. The truck is nicer. drives much better. and way better maintained and kept detailed over any other 7. 3 out there in this price range. Again. please take the time to look at the 200+ detailed pictures. Truck is very clean through out and a thrill to drive. More reliable and durable than all the new diesels out there with out all the maintenance nightmares of the new ones. Google the 7. 3 Powerstroke and you will see that they are considered the BEST diesel ever put in a truck! I know these 7. 3's well as I have owned quite a few over the years. Look at the others out there for sale. they don't compare to this one at all. You get what you pay for. Ask questions if you have them if you are serious. I am very easy to deal with. Truck is VERY clean top to bottom. Steering wheel is leather and really clean and airbag pad is not warped. Horn and cruise control works perfect. All lighting in cluster and on switches works perfect. All power options work perfect. Power windows smoothly glide up and down smoothly with no clunks or skips. Power door locks work like they should. 2 keys and 2 remotes. Even remote buttons look like new! No wind noise or leaks when truck is washed. Doors close tightly. Speedometer works perfect and doesn't bounce or stick like most. All gauges work perfectly and are accurate. All lights work both interior and exterior. Truck just turned 68. 53 miles. which is just breaking in for a well maintained 7. 3. Last oil change done a month ago. New E load rated 10 ply tires installed all the way around at 67. 50 miles. These 7. 3 Powerstrokes are well known to be the best diesel ever installed in a truck and are often called the "million mile motor''. With proper maintenance there are quite a few out there with even more than than 1 million miles!! Ford has not been able to produce a diesel since even close to a 7. 3. and the others (Dodge and GM) may have OK diesel engines. the trucks that the engines were in can't seem to stay together!! All lock cylinders are original to the truck and work smoothly with no binds. including tailgate lock. Look at how well all the body panels and windows line up!! All original trim. weatherstrips. lights and emblems are in excellent condition and not faded or deteriorating like most others. Every correct clip. nut. bolt. rivet. plug. sticker. rubber bumper. etc is correct on this truck!! This is not a clean up and sell. everything is as correct as possible and has been since new. Care. thought. a huge amount of time. passion. and attention to detail is present on every aspect of this truck and has always been babied. detailed frequently. and waxed often. Always kept indoors. Very hard to find combo too. with the short bed. crew cab and Lariat Package. so it's perfect for hauling things while still easy to park and maneuver while taking the whole family not only in comfort. but know you will get there!! Truck is available for inspection and can be driven or shipped anywhere. Out of country buyers welcome too. if you arrange shipping from the Long Beach Port. I can have the truck delivered to the Long Beach Port. included with BUY IT NOW. Clear. CA title in hand. Currently registered and insured in CA until August of 2015. I have used several reputable shipping companies that are insured and bonded over the years with no issues. and will be happy to arrange for a serious buyer with BUY IT NOW at your expense. or you can fly in and drive it home and enjoy a little vacation. Don't wait. once this truck is scooped up. it is gone and you will never find another like it!! I am very familiar with the 7. 3 Powerstroke market. Many have sold in the mid to high 20's in the last 6 months. and a few in the 30's not as clean as this one with not the attention to detail. highly descriptive listing such as mine. or detailed underside shots. I am confident this truck will sell fast at this price. Every time someone uses BUY IT NOW when not even talking to me first. I ask them why? The answer is usually " your long. detailed description. and all the underside shots!" I want people knowing exactly what the are getting. so I spend the time to describe everything I can think of to eliminate any unsure-ness. I have never had a person buy a vehicle from me sight unseen that has not been more than happy with their purchase. My 100% Positive feedback on eBay clearly shows people are very happy with what I sell. If you have a question or any doubt. feel free to message me. Please email me with phone # and I will call you with any info you're requesting. I am not interested in any trades or people that want to sell this truck for me. Truck is tight with no rattles. leaks. etc. The underside is as clean as the the rest of the truck and still has all the original markings. line codes. inspection marks. stickers. etc. The pictures speak for themselves. Please allow the time for the 200+ pictures to load. scroll down. and enjoy!! This is a beautiful truck and PERFECTLY balanced as far as looks. safety. economy. handling. braking. comfort. reliability. sound. and performance!! Re-live your childhood with something you didn't have the means to buy new or replace one you used to own. or add another to your collection of other worthwhile vehicles. Bed is not banged up like most. Look at the original tailgate. bed and trim . when is the last time you saw everything as clean such as this?? This is the most balanced truck you will ever drive. Transmission is smooth as silk with no grinds or slips so there is no worry of issues with it like the others out there. Truck is very easy to drive. It is much more solid feeling than the newer trucks. easy to maneuver and park. more comfortable. and does not have all the sensors. particulate filters. and maintenance of the new diesels. You will not find a nicer one for the money that is this nice and to this caliber of detail and pride of ownership! These 7. 3 Powerstroke's are very hard to find in nice shape as most were used as work trucks. or driven in salty. rust belt areas and are all rusted up. Most you find will not be loaded like this one with power seat. power windows. locks. leather. overhead console. captains chairs. factory running boards. privacy glass. original forged aluminum wheels. cruise. tilt. adjustable lumbar seat. and keyless entry. etc. etc. Any questions. please message me and I will respond promptly. This is a like to sell. not a must sell. or a desperation sale!! I price things fairly and on a Buy It Now. so there is no haggling back and forth or dealing with bidders that don't pay. I have 30+ high end vehicles in my collection. so it is not the end of the world if this does not sell. Most are $100K+ in my collection. If I can make some extra space in my warehouses. great. if not. I will keep it as I do love the truck and it tows like there is nothing behind it. I did a Buy It Now. so you don't have to bid an and wait. and hope to get it. Outright price for my truck is $24. 00 and I know it will sell for that. Don't wait for someone else to use Buy It Now and miss it!! There is no reserve. No taxes collected by me or any document fees like others charge. I choose to do Buy It Now. fixed price auctions over regular bid auctions because many people put on their watch list. then forget to bid at the last minute. then are upset that they missed it. Don't miss this one. you will never find another like it!! Again. I am VERY picky. Deposit of $500 must be made immediately thru Paypal upon the use of BUY IT NOW and remaining balance due with in 3 days of winning auction. Any questions and/or inspections if wanted must be made BEFORE using BUY IT NOW. Please do not use Buy It Now unless you already have the money. If you need a loan. have it set up and approved first. You are welcome and encouraged to come and inspect the truck or send someone to look at it before buying. I am not a dealer. so no sales tax will be collected by me. Truck is sold as is with no warranty by me expressed or implied. Shipping must be arranged by the buyer from Palm Springs. CA 92262 or I can help arrange for serious buyers. or you are welcome to fly into Palm Springs International Airport and I will pick you up. and you can drive the truck home. Must be paid for in full with in 3 days. I have clear CA title in hand. I work with several shipping companies that offer very reasonable transport too. Truck will not leave and title will not be sent until truck is paid in full (and cleared) with either cash upon pick-up. direct deposit. loan check. or cashier's check/money order. Feel free to ask any questions and I will answer promptly. Check my feedback. I have sold several very high dollar ($200k+) vehicles on eBay over the years with no problems and have a 2390+ positive feedback score and am not only a PS. but a TRS. Less than 1% of sellers have achieved this status selling on eBay. so you can trust how I describe what I am selling by the feedback I have received by those that have purchased from me that give me these ratings. I have never had a person get a vehicle from me sight unseen that was not thrilled with their purchase!! I reserve the right to end this auction early as the truck is advertised on several other sites and publications. so if you want it. use BUY IT NOW before someone else buys it!! If you can not meet these simple requirements. please do not use Buy It Now and waste your time. mine. and others that are serious. If you need more time or have questions about payment. please feel free to message me with your phone # and we can discuss. I am VERY picky with vehicles I own. Again. I have 30+ vehicles and none are a must sell. just trying to free up some space as I can barely walk in my warehouses they are so full. I am not interested in magazine coverage. picture collectors. or time wasters that just want to come and look at my collection. I am not losing any of my houses. or desperate in any way. In summary: EVERYTHING works!! No burnt out bulbs anywhere. even the back-up lights. dash lights. and original under hood light still work perfectly. Original owners manuals and handouts come with the truck. This F250 runs and drives excellent and has never been abused. There are no odd odors. odd rattles. or odd noises. You can drive this truck anywhere. Mileage may also vary minimally as truck may be driven for test drives and/or inspections and I do drive it sometimes. Please feel free to ask questions and I will answer promptly. This is not your average $15K 7. 3 truck that you can find that needs $10K+ worth of work and still won't be as nice as this one. This F-250 is a no excuse. honest truck. that needs nothing. It will only continue to go up in value if kept in this condition. Vehicles such as this from my experience are a much more solid investment than the stock market. Clean 7. 3 Powerstrokes have been going UP in value due to all the terrible new diesels out there now. The nice ones have gone up 60% in the last 6 months. People consider the 7. 3 Powerstroke to be the best diesel ever installed in a truck in the history of trucks!! The nice ones will keep going up in value when in the condition and desirability of this one. Remember. you get what you pay for. this truck does not need ANYTHING!! The paint and color combination is simply stunning and the options make it a pleasure to drive and it turns heads where ever you go. No excuses. issues. or stories. Have a great day and thank you for looking and (hopefully) reading my long description. I just want to be thorough. Each time I think of something else. I revise the listing. add more pictures. and before I know it. it ends up this long!! Very few read what I end up writing. but if you have. thank you!! Feel free to contact me with any questions and have a great day. :)
