Arrow Looking for my third F150...

I am looking to get my third F150 in trade for my 2000 Grand Prix GTX. The truck I am looking at I found on minneapolis craigslist 1997 Ford F150 New chrome rims/tires New transmission TRADES

My first two were a 93 and 95 model so I am not familiar with the newer style. It has the 4.6 with a newer tranny and 217,XXX on it. I figure my car is worth $4000 or so...is it a good trade? Look at the ad for pics and info, its a sharp looking truck but I don't wanna rush into it without being smart about it.

Help is appreciated!

Also he said the exhaust "flutter" sound goes away after it warms up....I don't know what exactly would cause that...

Assuming the ball joints haven't been done yet they will need to be replaced soon, will cost as much as $1K if you have a shop do all 4. I don't know anything about the car so couldn't say if the trade is good or not. Also I'd expect the radiator to be leaking or close to leaking at the side tanks by now, other things I had to fix by that mileage were U joints, hub bearing, a rear wheel seal and 1 alternator.
