Low mileage but rusted out. Worth the money or pass?
Found this for sale local to me. Guy wants $3500 for it with 124k original miles. Says the vehicle is from Michigan and it shows. See pics. Is this worth it should I pass?
Thanks

For a frame/underside in that kind of condition, HELL NO. That thing should be stripped for parts and sent to the scrapper.

How many holes are in the frame? Are the rear control arms structurally sound? How are the front upper shock mounts? How flexible is he on price? This are the things I would be asking. If those issues aren’t too bad I’d say it’s worth it. If you’re not planning on selling the truck for a while and have someone do a good patch job on the frame you will have a really stout truck that will last for years.

If you want something just to last a year or two and can get it for cheap, sure. But if you plan on keeping it for any longer period of time, no way.

On top of rust, it has the orange lights on, on dash cluster that indicate a possible bad Trac Module.

Thanks for al the replies. I’m gonna pass on it. Found a similar non rusted and low mileage (140,000) 1999 sport but they are asking $7000. Have to see if they have any room to come down
