That sounds just like mine but with a few more miles. I think it sounds like a deal. Did you run a carfax?

I would call and get it before going that far. If it comes back clean then it sounds like a deal.

Sounds like a steal to me. Every once in awhile you'll come across these. As i've said before to others asking this same question. Make sure you are prepared for worse case scenario. Engine/Tranny swap outs. Even though at that price, and in great shape, you're getting a deal. Run CarFax on the VIN and see what you come up with. I paid more for my 88XLT and I had to replace the tranny. I wouldn't worry about mileage, its a mute point on this vehicle. Seems they get better as they get older
