[QUOTE="Aboshi, post: 1776499, member: 59803"] Don’t get too put off, def talk him down! I just got a 2013 with 244k miles I stole it at $14k. 2 owners here in the NE, both drove it insane amount of miles a year30k/20k respectively. Def extremely well maintained or it would not have lasted this long. First owner used as fleet, second owner used it on a horse farm. Smelled like horse ******** and saddle leather! After I got that stank out I dropped about $2k into it so far to get it up to date on maintenance. Needed to do all fluid changes, pinion seal, both lower ball joints, flush power steering pump, and have all 4 shocks rebuilt. Then I took it in for an alignment. I had my mechanic do the ball joints and pinion seal because I didn’t want to be bothered, you can save quite a bit of $ doing it yourself as they will get you on 4 hours of labor for both ball joints and an hour on pinion seal. I also have a rusted cab corner (oam quick covers will do just fine to fix that) all in all though don’t let high miles scare you off. As long as that truck wasn’t abused! I got mine sight unseen, but have your guy take loads of pics and video. Especially of the frame. Rocker panel and cab corner rust isn’t bad and common especially in the north east. It’s an easy fix, BUT if there’s any frame rot RUN! Also have him take loads of video of the engine running and have him show you the fluids. Good luck [/QUOTE]
