Purchasing a lightning 99-04

Hello I’m looking at purchasing a 99-04 lightning. I know these things can be beat on pretty hard so I’m interested in hearing about things to check or years that may be better than others. Looking at buying one around 100k miles hopefully less but still trying to keep it on a budget this will just be a toy that I can cruise to work once or twice a week. Thanks.
