Thoughts on this pickup

Ok....thoughts on this pickup.... keep in mind I live in West Michigan (aka lake effect snow belt)

The price is right, but that's a Florida truck.

Too many miles. Wait and find one with less. Take the $4,000 cash to someone selling a $7,000 truck and see if they bite.

Unless he's got a big stack of receipts, look elsewhere.

slightly too much, but a well taken care of 4.6 will run until the end of all eternity. Maybe offer him 2750?

Oh, and being RWD, i have only 2 words for you...SNOW TIRES!

Hell I run RWD about 30,000 miles every winter without issue. The 4.6 to my experience is good to nearly 300K if maintained well, problem is how well has it been maintained and how would you know, IMHO it is too much money. Offer him $3K, you can put another engine in and still be ahead for that.

yeah, knock him down on the price so you have left over cash for replacement motor and trans. Make sure it's got a limited slip axle for the snow.

Since this is in the off topic area I thought it was going to be about bad pick-upo lines.
