Do you have proof of the maintenance??? do you know the previous owner? In this world nowadays its hard to just take someones word on how they care or cared for their precious car till ya get down the road and the tire falls off..other that that if you trust the quote well maintained then they can last if you continue to take care of it... I would add that if the ball joints have NEVER been replaced, then get them done !!!

The owner is a friend of a friend andthe orginal onwer, he has a stack of maintenance reciepts. i dont dought that the truck has been well maintained by it condition and the personality of the owner.
