This is a nice looking truck. I am not sure the price is quite right. Wondering what you all think.

VERY good gas mileage Approx 18/24mpg LOL.. NO.. more like 15-18 no matter where you go.

I'd say it's about what it's worth.. Wouldn't take his word on the Amigo's though.

It's nice but when you think about it the only thing that was replace were the two front headlights. The front bumper, rims, and tail lights are still the older style. The mileage is a little high for $5,000, even with the newer front headlights.

I agree with both of you. I feel like $4k might be a better target for me... I know I am gonna have to do some work right away. I doubt the u-joints have been greased.

I agree, $4,000 is about right.

$4,000 is a fair price, but not a good price. I agree with Mrquin, craigslist all the way. Picked up my 03 with 80k for $5,000 on CL in good cosmetic condition (needed some mechanical stuff done). Of course you'll get CDL with this guy, which is nice.

I didn't find anywhere in the posting that the HG had been done, so figure that in as well. And I love it when people say "adult owned", so what if you don't 'rod it, the maintenance is the important part and tons of "adults" skimp on that.

Sheesh, plus THREE accidents?? That's likely why the front end was upgraded.

I'm not sure why, but I get a red flag in my head when I hear someone refer to their Disco as AWD...

"and they said that the vehicle was in excellent condition, perfectly maintained, and everything was working well within norms.".......WOW, I have never heard a mechanic say anything like that, sounds like a load of BS.

Those pictures look like they have been touched up a bit, so that worries me.

145,000 isn't terrible, but for $5000 I would expect a more than just a front end upgrade that was done out of necessity due to an accident.

I say PASS and run far away from that one, unless you can go see it, touch it, drive it, and bargain for a much lower price.

I agree with Rob...Something about the whole post rubs me the wrong way, and I would probably stay away..
