1990 Ford E350 7.3 L 77000 miles. Is this a good deal?

While searching for buses I came upon a vehicle priced at 1000 dollars. Its a 7.3 L transit van. It apparently was used for transportaion of medical staff at a hospital campus. Is this a good deal? Why is it priced so low? Is 1990 a decent year?

Maybe, maybe not. Where is it located? That's very important to know whether it's a rust bucket on it's last legs, or if it's being sold by the hospital that is in the business of health and not selling vehicles and just want it off their hands. Need to know a lot more info about the bus.
Go to the UserCP and fill out your profile so we know where you are.

It’s almost 30 years old and they want to get rid of it. That’s why it’s $1000. To them it’s scrap. To a Skokie fanatic it’s a pure gem.

The 1990 7.3 will be the old IDI. A reliable engine but also very underpowered.
