6300, is that U.S. Dollars or Canuck bucks?
Truck looks like it's in good shape, on the passengers side anyway. Who knows the drivers side may be totalled! I'd say if it's as straight as it looks, and it's mechanically sound with little rust, and been maintained well 6300 (US) doesn't sound like too bad of a deal.
For somewhat comparative purposes I paid 3500 for my 92 W-250 with flatbed, a rough body and 239,000 miles.

BUY BUY BUY! Keep in mind with the right care the mileage is of no concern, mine was a one owner, northern PA (ny border) dedicated ice hauler with 330.000 miles on the ticker! The trans, and motor, remain untouched, or were till i got the bug! 
But the trans is still tight as factory. Look it over, and deside for yourself. Take it for a REAL test drive, hehehe the Cowboy Customs way! A rule of thumb here, at least for me, Always test it harder then u really drive everyday. I have found many a problem this way! Good luck and happy hunting!
