No mileage listed? That's weird. Not a bad deal, but you'd definitely want it looked over good before buying, as far as the motor seals, emissions system, tranny, and so forth.

If it's really high mileage, might want to pass. Always better to get a more mechanically sound, lower-mileage vehicle that might have some dents and scratches, than a pretty one with high mileage and some mechanical issues. Sometimes you can get both, but it's not often, particularly at that price point.

I've given the guy a call, he said 104k.

That's VERY reasonable! I was expecting 150k+.

Get it checked over, depending on your state emissions can be a bitch sometimes, and slipping auto trannies can suck. Find out if it has a timing belt or chain, and if it's been serviced. But if it checks out, that's a steal. Don't expect very good fuel economy, but they're good little trucks overall.

I'd be suspicious...seems TOO cheap.

Located right on the FL coast? Make extra sure it doesn't have hurricane (read: flood) damage...
