Dealerships. What are you looking for? My wife works for a dealership. PM me and I can tell you where or give you another one in the FtWorth area. Personally I would stay away from Craigs List.

I'm looking for a Ford with a 7.3 diesel engine and low miles. Sorry 97fordnut but I have never enjoyed buying from a dealership....dont like the number games.

I think dealerships are good places for gently used. I would steer clear on higher mileage vehicles. Dealerships know all of the tricks to cover up problems and will. All the care about is making money on the sale. I recently though back on my used vehicle purchases for dealers versus individuals. The cars I bought from individuals won hands down. I had one truck that I was preparing to sue over when a lady ran a stop sign and totalled it.
Well as I said my wife works for a dealership so I know all of the gimmicks and games they pull. I hate shopping for a vehicle period I've made more salesmen mad by walking out because the finance guy was padding the numbers after he had worked the deal to my satisfaction. I checked with one of our other managers because at one time he was looking at selling his F250 w 7.3L but he has reconsidered since it's paid for and he rides his Harley to work now. I'll keep looking for you but finding one pre 6.0 with low miles is not going to be easy. But of course 200k is low miles for one of these.
Another good option. Some of these places will keep a look out for you as well as long as they know what your looking for. I had a couple of sales guys looking for me a car for my youngest daughters first one here a couple of years ago.
