    No, unfortunately it's not. My 98 is.
    It was actually super cheap for SoCal, this truck could have easily went for 6-7k. It was posted yesterday morning for $4900 and I saw it and had to hop on it. Super clean.

    Still a good deal. They are so expensive in NC, especially the 01-04 trucks.

    What I liked most about it (besides the low price) was how low the miles were. My 98 has 210k ;(
    Yeah. Same here in SoCal. I paid 10k for my 03 lolll...

    I picked up my 97 over 2 years ago with 248k and a bad head gasket for $1100.
    I've put stupid money in it since then but who's counting anyway?
