Good price?

Hey all.

I'm thinking about looking at a 2003 Limited V8, 98,000 miles. Autocheck says no accidents, unsure of # of owners. They are asking $11,659. Sound reasonable? Also, should I be concerned with the mileage? I know these things go 300+ but buying one at 100 already is a little concerning. It's the cheapest I've seen in my area so far. Any advice is appreaciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Thats low miles for an 03 Is it 4wd? Has the timing belt been done? Have the brakes been done? How do the tires look? Does it have Xreas or rear air suspension, some things that would be difficult if you ever decided to lift it These are just some things that would make the difference of a few grand. Just some things to consider.

It is 4x4, V8. I'm not sure if the limited's came with xreas or not. It's an hour away from me so it might be a bust if I go and it's bad. I'm going to look anyway though.

So the Autocheck is showing 3 owners. No accidents but 3 owners is a bit concerning to me. I went on the Toyota site and this is all I found as far as records go. Not sure if I'm still interested now, but the price is decent.

That truck, assuming it needs a new WP and TB, is worth about 9000 IMO depending on the condition and tires. That's cool that it has low miles but it's still pretty old.

It's an hour away from me so it might be a bust if I go and it's bad. I'm going to look anyway though.

Is there an echo in here?

While I'm asking, can anyone comment on how these hold up rust wise? I think I'm more concerned with that than the mileage since I live in IL. I had an older Grand Cherokee a while back and it was a bear to work on with all the rust.
