For that price, it would sure be worth asking.
I feel this way too. You can so an AWFUL lot of fixing for 1/4 of the cost of a new truck.so it's definitely worth getting it cheaper and fixing.
Last year I was searching for a diesel OBS for trailer towing/motorcycle carrying. I live in MA, so most things are rusted out up here. After several months of looking at rusty trucks with crazy asking prices, I found a 1994 F250 7.3 IDI extended cab 8' bed with 128k miles from NC. It never saw a northern winter or salt. No rust, just some clear coat deterioration on hood. Brakes had been recently done, along with glow plugs and fuel return lines. I negotiated to 10k and was happy with that. It will hopefully not see a winter with me either. I did install a Banks Sidewinder kit, so I'm probably going to be into it for 15k by the time I finish upgrading trailer wiring, lighting, and gauges. I'm happy with that due to the price of new vehicles. This is much cheaper and easier to work on than newer rucks too. I recently replaced the injection lines after one broke (it was missing antivibration clamps), and pulled both tanks to clean them and replace pickup strainer/funnels. The only thing that could really suck is if I get whacked; insurance will never get close to what I'll have into it. KBB is probably less than 3k. The only way would be to get it appraised annually and come to an agreement of value with insurance carrier. That has it's own cost of annual appraisals, etc so I'll be taking a risk. All vehicles have just gone up since I found this too. But they are out there if you look long and hard enough.
