Ok so i'm sure some of you guys remember me being on the forum a little asking questions. Well i'm back in search for some advice/question solving. I will be 16 in less than two months and im searching for a truck. The budget is pretty tight (especially considering ill only be 16) and i came across this truck on ebay.

Dodge : Ram 1500 | eBay
I know most of you say stay away from buying on ebay (for good reasons of course) but my dads bought his last truck (2004 dodge ram 2500 cummins diesel) off of ebay on a trade. He traded in his 2004 dodge ram 1500 hemi. And guess what? I am now looking for a dodge ram 1500 for my vehicle. Anyways it looks to be in good shape, and everything like that. We wouldn't purchase until we find out more history about this truck and have a mechanic (or my dad) check it over. My dad isn't a mechanic but he would be able to tell if something was wrong or not. We would obviously make sure it has a title, and a clean one at that. My question is what should we look out for with that model year and it having 145k miles on it? It does have the 5.7 Hemi. If i got it i would put a magnaflow right side rear exit catback single exhaust system on it, K&N air intake, a tuner (for more HP and better fuel economy), and heavier leaf springs but thats it.
Thanks for any advice!
