They are asking $8900 and it has never left FL. I am concerned with it's age and I am looking to use it as a daily driver. Any suggestions would be great.
I would hate to buy it and have to sink a ton of money into it.

It isn't a Chrysler.

I would go for it personally, 3rd gens are great trucks.

Solid truck, buy it!

Whoa, if it truly has only 59k miles, then that price is a steal!

It does only have 59 thousand miles. It is being sold from the dealer stated work from above. I am worried about fuel economy also. I am thinking about making an offer tonight.

BUY IT!!! Especially if it only has 59K on it. These trucks last for a long time, friend of mine is driving a 98 with 260 and change. Also, I paid 14 for my 02 when it had 63k in 2007.

Looks good...get it inspected before pulling the trigger.

If it feels right when u drive it, solid, etc. you should buy it. I paid $8200 for my 02 in October 2011 with 128k miles. I WISH it was Florida only with half the miles. However it still feels and drives as solid as a new car.

Expect to average 19mpg.

Again if it feels right driving it, buy it. I would for sure.
