Craigslist ad but its through a dealer


Its the perfect all black one ive been looking for. I see nothing wrong with it, and it even has a little lift and black rims like i want which saves me money. The ad says it has 136k miles but i checked the carfax and it says 154k miles. Is that too many for 10k of asking price? It sounds like it, but its the perfect truck and i figure itll save me 1-2k in costs of new rims, tires and a slight lift.

How long is the lifespan of these trucks? It only had one owner for the 154k miles.

We are talking about an 11 year old truck, which may have 150K on it, and don't know the history....you want to invest 10K(kind of the high end), offer 8-9....

But have the vehicle checked out by a good garage before buying it....road test, put on lift, check underneath, look for leaks, etc,. and any maintenance history would be helpful.....you don't want any surprises down the road...

136k miles - 10k not expensive if you think its the perfect truck.
