Well .. find out more about it and tell us here -- there are others on this site with greater insight than I. ;)
 
Is it auto or manual? The autos are pretty lousy transmissions. People live with them, but if you can get a manual, you'll be better off.

Wheels look like bling crap. It's a lousy picture, so I may be wrong, but if I'm not, they probably won't be any good for off roading. If you plan on off roading, get them to include the original wheels if possible or potentially use the wheels as an excuse to offer less.

Not sure what tires it has - the photo's really lousy quality.

Has the head gasket been replaced recently? You can check this at a dealership (at least to see if the recall's been done). If it hasn't, this can be used as a bargaining chip to get the price down. HG job will cost you in the neighborhood of $800-$1200.

I would also take it to a trusted mechanic. With that mileage, you want to make sure the vehicle is sound.
 
the 3.0s are known for their headgasket problems. i had cooling issues in my 93 several years back, but once that got sorted out she ran like a champ.
 
Well I ended up trading him...

It runs great! Purrs like a kitten. It has a small oil leak coming out a head gasket that is going to be fixed asap. But other than that its a clean little rig, It squats in the back quite a bit though. Any suggestions??
 
Might not be a headgasket leak, but a valve cover leak. Known leakers on these engines.

Looks like a good truck! Congrats! And welcome to the forum!
