The deal?

There is a salvage yard by me that has a 93 w 250 CTD auto w/ 3:54 rears 1090000 thousand miles on it that I have been keeping an eye on for the past 2 years. The story goes it belonged to a farmer that took the breaks apart lost intrest let the dog live in it, farmer died salvage yard got it. Over the years 1 door left fender windshield and other parts have been sold. So today I finally asked how much for motor trans and rears? he said 1500.00 I said ok . I was told the motor alone was worth 3500.00. Was it the deal??

I don't know...over a million miles is kinda high, even for a CTD.

If it's the 109k I assume it is, then I think you got a smokin' deal!

Farmers don't normally put a lot of miles on trucks. Rough on them physically though. In my area any used cummins out of the truck that runs decent is $ 3,000 . R C

If its only 100 thousand then I would say you got a deal! Sounds like a great steal even if the body is shot. You could part the truck out and make alot of money on it

I'd say you got a smokin' deal. The motor alone would go for $4000 in my area.

Why can't I ever find these deals?

Sounds like a great deal, snag the transfer case, radiator and intercooler while you're at it too...
