I found a 3rd gen for sale for $3500 the interior is in very good shape. The truck has 305,000 miles. Engine has 161,000 it was replaced at the dealer. Does have the typical rust on the rear fender well only on the passenger side. The clear coat is also failing in spots. But the truck looks like its been cared for. It's a 2wd the owner used it to drive over 100 miles a day for work. He retired and no longer needs it. Transmission is original. I saw it in a Lowe's parking lot so I looked at it briefly and then called and set up a time to look at it. (Tomorrow evening).
No leaks underneath everything was dry.
I know the miles would scare people but what do you guys think? The truck has never towed anything doesn't even have a trailer hitch. What should I look out for? I've owned a 2nd gen for 9 years it was my grandfathers truck. I'd like to start restoring it so I'll need a daily driver pick up. All help is appreciated. Look forward to all the input and advice you guys give.
