Is this a good deal?

I am going to look at this on thursday, i was wondering what concerns i should have being that this has 250,000 miles. The main factor that im interested is because it is a five speed. Thoughts?

It's got 250K on it, you need to be concerned about everything. not saying there's anything wrong with it but you need to look it over very carefully. For $2000 though it's probably hard to go wrong.

Agreed with the above post. Also look at the front wheel... that truck looks dirty
as hell, although cleaning it would be the least of your worries. If everything checks out I say go for it. You may even be able to pick it up for less. Doesn't hurt to ask.

PBR is right; it looks as if you would need to start with new brake pads and rotors.

It's always good to do the timing belt and water pump at the same time, so around 800 at a dealer.
