1991 Ford F-250 Extended Cab XLT Lariat - ONE OWNER, READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE

1991 FORD

F250 Lariat XLT

Extended Cab

VIN: 1FTHX25G1MKA01801

I’m often asked where we find these near-vintage vehicles. I’ve asked a good friend to keep a sharp eye as he cruises parking lots of retirement homes, Elks clubs, our V.F.W. Hall and the small-town back streets of rural areas near Seattle. He can spot a seatbelt slammed in a door a mile away… He’ll notice when a nice old car or truck is driving with a turn signal left on just a little too long and he positively twitches with glee when a vehicle with metal bumpers passes by! Occasionally, we’ll get lucky and find one sitting right there under our noses. That’s the case with this nice 3/4-ton one-owner truck (we’ll be passing along the original 1991 title to the next caretaker). If you’re in the market for a decent early 90’s pickup, please give this F250 XLT Lariat your kind attention. Feel free to contact me with questions or to discuss a sale before the end of the Ebay auction. My name is Mark and you can reach me directly by phone or text at 206/914-1173.

CONDITION:

The photos really tell the F-250’s story. From what we’ve learned, it's spent the past three decades here in the Great Pacific Northwest driving our salt-free Washington roads. We’ve found absolutely NO evidence of any major accidents, storm damage, insurance salvage, theft recovery, repossession or any other nasty negatives to cause you concern as the next caretaker! After the truck arrived at my warehouse our mechanic looked it over thoroughly. All the posted photos you see were taken on 03/10/2020 outside my shop (it's been great weather here in the Seattle area during the early spring).

I take pride in our vehicles and feel that you should know as much about them as possible. Accordingly, here’s a list of the positive and also any small things possibly needing attention: The overall exterior is in good condition. My wife really appreciates the aluminum running boards that make getting in and out easier. The rig still wears its factory two-tone paint with a few spots of primer showing on the hood. As you’d expect, there are some rock chips and minor dings. Rust? Well, this classic Ford HATES rust and, as you see in the photos, you’ll be hard pressed to find ANYTHING here to worry about! Because we rarely get snow west of the Cascades, our winter roads are never salted. Climb over, under and throughout - I know you’ll come up smiling! The fiberglass LEER canopy is solid and the bed has always been protected by an ABS liner. Back in 1991 this truck was about the most heavy-duty Ford you could buy, and its classic style and durability have proven themselves over the passing years.

One turn of the key and the strong 460 CID gasoline V8 fires right up every time. The easy-breathing exhaust has a throaty rumble; almost sounds like a hot rod! The three-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly, just like it should, with NO slippage. Of course, there’s a tilt steering column and power steering. The power front disk brakes stop the rig just fine with no pulling or binding. Tires are passable with and estimated 70% remaining tread all-around. This truck really is fun to drive, has massive power and will take you anywhere you’d wish to go.

Please take another look at the interior pics. While there’s some expected wear on the driver’s seat the balance of the original upholstery is excellent. Literally, nobody’s ever sat on the rear bench. There’s NO sagging or warped headliner board either. All the glass is good except for a crack along the top of the windshield, out of the line of sight.The original Philco AM-FM cassette stereo is in place and works great. Some attention might be needed to make the A/C blow colder (I'm not sure what that will entail, though the heater works fine). I’ve never tried out the factory cruise control and don’t know whether it engages. We had the detailer next door clean the interior to remove some animal odor and it’s now pretty minimal. If you’re thinking of bidding on a comparable Chevy or Ram pickup of similar vintage, you really owe it to yourself to drive and look over this nice F-250 first.

I’ll be sure to include the work books pictured and a set of mounted studded winter tires, along with the standard spare, stored away in the bed when the truck leaves.

PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE and know that you are purchasing a nice truck from a respected Ebay seller. I want you to be happy with your purchase (and with me) and that’s the main goal! Please don’t be upset by a missed flaw or some unforeseen problem! No vintage car or truck is ever perfect. Having said this, I’ve been using the Ford as a daily driver the past month, even trailering home a ’71 Mercedes from the hinterlands and have been pleased with its towing ability and over-all performance.

Because of the amount of money involved in buying a vehicle, we require that Ebay members with a feedback history of five or fewer transactions call, text or email before placing a bid. If I don’t have this initial contact, your bid may be cancelled. As I’ve outlined above, the phone number to talk directly to me is 206/914-1173. Please feel free to call (or text) any time during the auction. My name is MARK. You’re welcome and encouraged to come by my Auburn, WA warehouse to look over & drive the rig. If distance is an issue, I’ll make time to meet with an inspector you’ve hired. You might also consider making an offer as many of my vehicles sell to smart “early birds” that contact me to work out a deal prior to the auction’s end. I always reserve the right to sell during this period.

A Few Additional Terms and Conditions:

Many of our past buyers from as far away as Alaska, Arizona, the Midwest, Canada, Florida, New York and even the Mexican Baja have flown in here to Seattle and then started a road trip home the same day in their purchase. While I have every confidence the truck could handle a long-distance drive, it’s nearly 30 years old and has earned the right to do short sprints instead of a full-blown marathon. Shipping usually equals (or is cheaper) when all the ancillary costs are added in – and no flat tires to deal with in the middle of nowhere with shipping either. As a respected Ebay seller with many satisfied online buyers, I want you to bid with confidence knowing that this truck runs and drives out as it should AND that it is being properly represented to you.

The entire purchase price is due by cash (in-person only), a wire transfer or other certified funds within seven days of the auction closing. I can accept credit/debit cards but will need to first send an invoice from our card processor and ask that the 3.25% fee charged by them be added. Please remember you are bidding to buy and I fully expect the winning bidder to fulfill their Ebay contract! You’re not bidding to hold or then come inspect and test-drive the vehicle later -- You’re more than welcome to do this before the auction ends.

If you do decide to have the pickup shipped home, there are numerous vehicle transportcompanies to choose from. While delivery and the company chosen are the responsibility of the BUYER, I ship vehicles regularly and have access to the nationwide Central Dispatch system. I can check to see what typical delivery costs have been to your area recently and we can then post a transport offer for the truck at a fair price. Most of the time we'll have a shipper is lined up within a few days. You’ll pay the transport driver COD when they arrive with the vehicle. No upfront deposit or other hassles.
