Look carefully! It does seem like a good deal. Low mileage and even a supercharger! Their website shows it as "on sale" from 7500. Wonder what the catch is...

Is it not possible to run a stock air box with the SC? That's the only red flag I can see from the pics.
 
check the frame for rust, the trailer hitch has been painted & check for accidents, the rear hatch has no emblems. make them show you the car fax, check the low mileage too.
 
Also, Pro tip: Don't post on the internet about the great deal you found until after you've either made the deal or walked on it!

Carfax shows the mileage correctly. Had a minor fender bender in 04'. I saw that the hitch was painted over so Ill check the frame for sure. The no emblems thing put me off... dont like that.

The factory hitch is pretty exposed. My truck has some rust but it's not terrible but I replaced the factory hitch last summer because it was completely rotted. I don't think it's a big deal.
 
People definitely don't but superchargers to waltz nice and easy around town. I'm waiting to see what the catch is. If the bottom is good to go and it tracks straight looks like it'll be a ton of fun. Good luck man

Will the supercharger make it in anyway less reliable? Plan on making this my DD.

I doubt that's a negative....go check it out and be prepared to bargain. You are not going to get a perfect 14 year old vehicle but remember to do you due diligence. Get it checked out by a trusted mechanic & get her on a hoist.

Don't just make them show you the CarFax, do it yourself. That can be forged, and I've seen a couple of shadetree used car lots dealers that roll the ODO back.
They buy a pretty one (with high mileage) for cheap at auction, roll back the ODO and sell it for a good profit, but still a 'great deal' for the buyer.
 
The question is why was the truck sold in the 1st place? For me to let it go for that price (personally) the SC would need a rebuild, timing belt would need to be done and maybe even a rear axle seal job and possible signs on pink milkshake! Kidding, of course... maybe... :flamethrwoer2:
