I've been through some wily times since I last posted to this intro thread (Craigslist can be, um...
weird... to deal with). In the end, I found a dealer not too too far away from my location with an awesome black '97 Limited that was through the roof -- this truck is amazing inside and out. Just super clean! Carfax checked out real good, so I went and tested it out, and bought it on the spot yesterday afternoon. KBB lists it for $7,970, and I picked it up for $5,495. Righteous. Couldn't be happier.
Thanks for everyone's guidance on what to look at and what to look for.
Here's a couple of shots I took this morning...
