any of yall own a diesel

[TUnit]

im looking in at buying a used diesel and wanted to see if any of yall have one or know if they are reliable. its a 97 ford with like 142,000 miles on it. looks clean and its jack the hell up.

[diponyou]

ummmm,wut do u mean by "jack the hell up"?

but that seems like alot of miles,i would wait for something with less miles

i have a VW passat tdi (130)

and it's very nice to drive for a diesel

[TUnit]

well its got a lift kit. i know the miles are high but from what ive heard diesels last a very long time. 142k on a diesel is nothing really, the engines are pretty strong

[stocky121]

as long as there are seviced proper everytime i dont see why a diesel carnt see 200,000 easy

i got a 85 dodge diesal on my land in the country and it has well over 200,000 and it runs like a champ smokes like hell but still runs good. you should be fine with only 142,000

quatro version ?? very nice

[diponyou]

yea,diesel engines are very stout engines and will run for days but the trannys arent so stout,especially those ford trannys.142 on a tranny that has been lifted and who knows what kind of off roading has been done to it.

go for it,and buy it,but if the previous owner didnt change the oil,air filter,service the tranny and so forth.i garuntee the tranny will go out sometime soon.ive owned a number of cars and have seen it all.im just letting you know from experience

[CRUISECONTROL]

quatro version ?? very nice

[TUnit]

a couple of my friends have them and there so much fun to mess around with. i test drove the truck yesterday...thing is a beast! interior is shit tho, so im looking at other. i always wanted a big diesel 4x4!!

[Texsun]

I drive a 1997 ford f350 4x4 diesel, has about 120,000 miles on it, still runs good....only prob is the price of fuel....i fill up about once a week at around 90 bucks a pop.....that's almost 400 dollars a month on fuel....i'm thinking about trading it in on a moped.

i got a trunk that i use to go to work it has around 275,000 kms it;s 2001 mitsubishi l200 ,deisel engines are great just keep the oil good and temp of the engine normal and it will out last you for sure
