It definitely is in great shape for the year, my worries is it would be breaking down a lot for different things and then you just have a pretty good looking lawn ornament. He wants way to much for that, maybe 20-22k but that is even pushing it. I wonder how many times he changed the oil. He does live in Washington but it get cold there and that could lead to condensation in the oil if not changed regularly reguardless of the miles..just my .02
Drive the hell out of it and soon it will be worth 1/3 what you paid for it?
Sit on it like the PO did?
It will be MANY years before it is considered a classic, and even then what does that really matter with the sheer volume of these trucks that were sold?
I'd say 20K is the tops that should be spent on that truck, period.

Hi Tom.
It was actually really good, kids didn't fight once. First time for everything I guess.
I'll be here.

Going to need to come up with the balance of what a bank would loan to buy it. Lot's of cash for an 11 year old truck.

Ugh! The wireless is acting goofy again. I signed on fine then all of a sudden our network is just gone off the list. WTF? I am on a neighbors at the moment.
