In my mind, I can't figure trying to make money by buying a used truck with 13K miles on it for $28,000 - but what do I know? It's more understandable if you truly desire something almost new just for new's sake. I've got several tow vehicles but I search for low-miled older trucks. A few months ago I bought a 1985 heavy F250 (8600 GVRW) with 4WD, extended cab, 8' bed, diesel engine, and 52,000 original miles on it and paid $2500 for it. If runs great, does all I want, but does not look "stylish" I guess. But, $2500 is long way from $28,000 and I doubt the newer truck can do much more than mine, and I doubt there's much difference in reliability. Many replacement parts, though, are cheaper for the older trucks. Just one example, price a water pump or injectors for the truck you're looking at and compare it to the 85. Amazing difference.
