    Hasn't inspected the truck so you don't know if its "good". But the price ain't too bad.

    All depends on how well it was taken care of. I bought mine with 140k miles but it didn't bother me because I did research on it and the owner had all the service records and I could tell it was very well taken care of. If the truck you're looking at looks like it was taken care of then I say go for it... seems like a good price to me.

    Since you're a mechanic, I'd say go for it. High miles but that's a pretty low price for an 05. Just make sure its in good shape

    So I'm replying to my own post here to give a warning to anyone looking at trucks in the WVA, VA or surrounding areas... DON'T BUY THIS TRUCK!!!! That is unless you're ready to do some major repairs. The 4x4 actuator seems to be shot and the transmission is going rapidly... the front frame in the engine bay is completely covered in rust and so are most of the steel (or non-aluminum) engine parts. It's located in Harrisonburg and is Blue... I wont say the specific dealer just in case but I think with as much info as I posted you can figure out which truck it is.
