If this is you, please call or email me first. . . . you don't have the money and haven't been pre-approved for financing on this vehicle through your bank/credit union. I do not finance, but I can work with any lender of your choice. . . . you don't have the ability or refuse to pay for this vehicle within a reasonable amount of time. This listing specifies 3 business days and that is my preference, but if you need a coupIe of extra days that is acceptable. . . . you're not comfortable with buying a vehicle through the internet. Food for thought: You think your local used car dealership would have 100% positive ratings on each and every vehicle sold all over the world if their buyers had the ability to leave them feedback on an open forum (even after driving the vehicle a couple thousand miles)? There is a difference! . . . you buy this vehicle and expect me to pick you up at the airport on a Sunday morning - unless you catch an early flight and want to come to worship with my family and I - it starts at 10am and that's where I'll be.

DON'T MISS OUT! THIS IS A 7-DAY NO RESERVE AUCTION!! HIGHEST BIDDER WINS! AUCTION ENDS SUNDAY EVENING, APRIL 1st This is an extremely clean 1996 Ford F-250 4x4 with very low mileage and powered by the legendary 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel. As far as I can tell, there's not another one on the market in the entire country like this one with a manual transmission and less than 100k miles - and if you're looking for a truck like this, this is the one to own. I'm not often able to know much about the history of the trucks I sell, but I actually bought this one straight from the second owner who was a local man in his 80's. He had a small 8 acre farm not too far from my office and decided it was time to let go of this truck because of his declining health. The original owner was the president of a local pharmaceutical supply company and once he sold the company in 1995 he and his wife decided they wanted to go RV'ing around the country. So, they special ordered this truck from the Ford dealership in Dallas (I still have the original window sticker). They went all over the country towing their travel trailer until 2001 when this gentleman's old company he sold hired him back on to be on the board of directors and manage a part of the company. That's when he sold the truck to the second owner who I mentioned earlier. From day one, this truck has been extremely well cared for. This has not ever been anybody's work truck or mud truck, nor has it ever seen any other kind of abuse such as that. The engine is totally factory original with no modifications except for a 1 inch larger exhaust system that the original owner had installed at the Ford dealership (the catalytic converter and muffler are also larger aftermarket units). The first owner also added the Firestone airbags in the rear to keep the truck stable when towing the travel trailer. You can raise or lower the PSI in the airbags by pushing a switch up or down inside the cab. The second owner had the gooseneck hitch installed to pull his small horse trailer. As you would expect, the engine is incredibly tight with no blow-by, no leaks, and no smoke. The transmission is also excellent with no grinding or popping out of gear or anything else - just smooth, solid shifts. The four wheel drive works perfect. This truck was just at the Ford dealer for its maintenance inspection and service 5,000 miles ago, but I just had the truck very thoroughly checked over and serviced again just to make sure nothing needs attention. This truck needs absolutely nothing. Cosmetically, this truck is beautiful. I've actually put a few hundred miles on it myself and I've gotten thumbs up from people in my neighborhood as well as complete strangers - this truck is just that clean and it's a joy to drive. You don't see them like this anymore. I will say that as the second owner's health was in decline the past few years, he did bump into a few things on his property. Any dings or dents he caused were apparently very minor and he had each of them fixed right after they happened, so all of the paint is not original, but it's not obvious that any of the bodywork was ever done so I would call the workmanship acceptable. There are some extremely minor clues such as tiny spots of paint overspray on the edge of a couple pieces of weatherstripping and things such as this, but nothing that's easy to find or to fault the truck for. This truck hasn't ever been involved in any accidents and the Carfax is perfectly clean. The interior is basically mint with no stains or tears or cracks anywhere. I honestly don't know of any defects about the interior - it looks excellent and extremely well taken care of. Everything works perfect too - A/C, windows, locks, cruise, stereo, etc. The first owner kept the truck in his garage anytime he wasn't towing his RV, and the second owner kept the truck under his carport anytime he wasn't driving it. This truck drives perfect. Everything works great. The A/C is cold and the Heat is hot. The buyer will be very pleased with the condition of this truck. It is 100% rust-free and ready to drive anywhere. Fly in and drive it home - I'll even bring it to you at the airport! *1996 FORD F-250 *7.3L POWER STROKE TURBO DIESEL ENGINE WITH 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION *4-WHEEL-DRIVE *4.10 GEAR RATIO *CREW CAB (4 DOOR, 6 PASSENGER), SHORT BED (6 FT) *XLT PACKAGE *ONLY 77,819 ORIGINAL MILES *OXFORD WHITE EXTERIOR WITH OPAL GRAY CLOTH INTERIOR *POWER DOOR LOCKS *POWER WINDOWS *TOWING MIRRORS *TILT STEERING *CRUISE CONTROL *KEYLESS ENTRY WITH ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM *JVC AM/FM STEREO WITH CD PLAYER *TOWING PACKAGE WITH RECEIVER HITCH AND GOOSENECK HITCH *FIRESTONE RIDE-RITE REAR AIRBAGS WITH IN-CAB CONTROLS FOR AIR-COMPRESSOR *GRILLE GUARD *DIAMOND PLATE ALUMINUM RUNNING BOARDS *DIAMOND PLATE ALUMINUM BED CAPS AND TAILGATE CAP *HEAVY DUTY RUBBER BED MAT *GOODYEAR WRANGLER AT/D TIRES (LT235/85R16; LOAD RANGE E; APPROXIMATELY 70% TREAD LIFE REMAINING) EXTERIOR IS EXCELLENT *100% RUST & CORROSION FREE *NO PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS *PAINT SHINES EXCELLENT *BODY IS VERY CLEAN INTERIOR IS EXCELLENT *EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT *COLD A/C & HOT HEAT *NO STAINS, TEARS, OR STRANGE SMELLS - VERY CLEAN!

Our History: Short Motor Company was founded by my Dad, Leo Short, in 1990 after he was a Snap-On Tool dealer for 9 years. He was guided in starting his business by his uncle, John Short, who owned several new and used car dealerships throughout Texas over the course of more than 30 years in the business. I started working for my Dad at age 16, finished high school, and began my college career toward my Associates Degree in Automotive Marketing and Management from Northwood University in Cedar Hill, TX. I married my wonderful wife Rachel in 2007 and we welcomed a baby boy to our family in February 2011, and we're now expecting baby #2 in October 2012! My Dad and I continue to work together: he sells vehicles strictly from his storefront just as he has done since 1989, while I have chosen to cater to the online community. We are members of the Fort Worth Independent Auto Dealers Association, the Texas Independent Auto Dealers Association, and the National Independent Auto Dealers Assocation. When I was 12 years old, my Grandpa gave me a 1965 Mustang Fastback that had been sitting in a field since the 1970's. It was my dream car, but once I started looking to buy parts for it and realized that wasn't going to happen with my [non-existent] budget, I sold it for $1,300. By the time I graduated High School at age 17, I had bought and sold over 30 cars. For my High School yearbook, they made up a new "Most Likely To Be..." category for me - I was "Most Likely To Become President Of Ford Motor Company". When I joined eBay in 1999 I was buying and selling rare Hot Wheels toy cars. Now since 2006 I've been selling pre-owned cars and trucks full-time on eBay. Since day one, I've maintained 100% positive feedback. My Philosophy: To provide quality pre-owned vehicles with outstanding value and superior customer service. I realize that my customers have a lot of choices when purchasing a vehicle and my goal is to cater to you personally by providing a perfectly painless purchasing experience. I treat you with the same respect, honesty, and integrity that I would expect to receive. All of my vehicles are hand-picked, thoroughly inspected and fully serviced, and then inspected cosmetically and test driven by me before they're ever offered for sale. If you have a question about anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask - I'm readily available through email (bradyshort@gmail.com) or a phone call (817-988-2629). -Brady Short Finance I DO NOT OFFER FINANCING. However, if you choose to seek your own financing through a bank or credit union, I can work with them to finalize your purchase. But, if you are going to need financing, please make sure that you are approved by your lender for the vehicle you would like to bid on before bidding on it.

New license plates, registration sticker, and safety/emissions inspection sticker will be taken care of at no charge to you. BUYERS FROM ANY STATE OUTSIDE OF TEXAS: You will only be charged Vehicle Inventory Tax of .2365% (Sale Price x .002365) and a Documentary Fee of $50.

Acceptable payment methods are: Cash (in person), Cashier's Check, Certified Loan Check, or Bank Wire Transfer. All buyers will be issued a temporary buyer's tag good for 60 days from the time of sale. Vehicle must be picked up within 2 weeks after auction ends. After 2 weeks, a storage fee of $15 per day will be charged. If I already have the title to the vehicle it will be given to you in person when you pick up the vehicle, or sent to you via FedEx if you choose to ship the vehicle. If I do not yet have the title (very few cases, but does happen sometimes because of paperwork delays), once I do receive the title (no longer than 10 days after the sale in most cases) it will be sent to you via FedEx. Winning bidder MUST contact me within 24 hours of auction end, and make arrangements for payment at that time. If no contact is made within 24 hours I reserve the right to sell it to the next highest bidder, re-list the vehicle, or sell it elsewhere. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to eBay. If financing, make sure your financial institution accepts the year and miles of this vehicle before bidding. Please arrange financing prior to bidding. If you are not sure about something, please ask. Do not assume anything not listed or pictured is included. Feel free to call me (817-988-2629) or email me (bradyshort@gmail.com) for any reason. I reserve the right to cancel bids for excessive negative feedback or not enough feedback. If you have less than 2 feedbacks, please email me before bidding. All of my vehicles are thoroughly checked out by my mechanic before they are ever put on eBay and any maintenance needs are taken care of. Most of my customers are from out of state, so I take great care to make absolutely certain (to the best of my ability) that the vehicle is in excellent mechanical (and cosmetic) condition. Please understand these are used vehicles, and may have very minor imperfections that are not noted. I try very hard to describe each vehicle accurately; however, if you have a question about something specific that you feel is not addressed adequately in the description, please call or email me. Sometimes the vehicle may have slightly more miles on it after the auction is over than what it had when the eBay listing started. This will not be a drastic mileage increase (usually only a couple hundred miles at the most), but it does happen on occasion because of test drives and demonstrations during the auction. I want this transaction to be as smooth and pleasant as possible. A happy buyer is a well educated buyer, so if you are in doubt about anything, please ask. On Mar-25-12 at 20:44:15 PDT, seller added the following information:I just realized I forgot to note a couple of extremely minor things. First, this truck had a plastic bug shield attached to the front of the hood since nearly new (so there aren't any paint chips or dings), but the plastic had a crack in it so I removed it. So, there are a couple small scuffs on the front edge of the hood where the plastic bug shield would occasionally contact the paint on the hood. Also, the plastic trim piece on the outside edge of the driver's seat has a crack near one of the screw holes where it attaches to the seat itself. It is nice and tight and you can see the small crack in the pictures, but I just wanted to bring it to your attention. Lastly, just in case anyone is wondering, I do have the clean and clear title in hand and ready to sign over to the buyer. -Brady
