i would say for the money you could find something a little better, parts are probally going to cost around $300 and an alignment is about $100, so about $2000 for a 11 year old truck with 200k. seems a little steep to me, but if you like the truck and have the money to spend, i say go for it!

I would say if the simple repairs don't bother you then go for it. But, you might think I was crazy lol I've spent about 3.5k on my car so far.

Damn man. WAIT for a freakin' answer.

Now, about the truck. 200k+ miles is a LOT. With an original transmission... The price seems too high given the mileage. Even at $1500.

I'm sorry. I was kinda pissed after work today, you know how it goes.. oh well.

I have the money to buy the truck AND all of the parts to fix it. I have done a lazy source of the parts and it would be roughly $250 for parts and it costs $60-$70 for an alignment.

I wouldn't want to lowball the guy too much, but I guess I just realized the truck really is 7 years old and would be the newest vehicle I have owned. But if the truck runs and drives out well with no problems other than the alignment, and is as clean as he claims it to be, how much do yous guys think I should offer him?
