What do y'all think??

I am looking at the truck in the link below what do you all think? Is the mileage a bit to high to still make the truck reliable. Anything I need to look for? Thanks for the help guys.

Tell him you'll give him $5000 less since the mud flaps don't match.

Beautiful truck! I want it. 93k on a Cummins come on man. I was expecting 200k. I think It is a very reasonable price.

Find out if it has the original lift pump, if so deduct $500.00 from the final price cause you will be replacing it shortly. Also ask about U-joints and ball joints. A friend of mine just bought an 03 with 125K, and it's in great shape and runs strong.

That is from Lawrence Marshall Dodge ( http://www.lawrencemarshall.com/ )just northwest of Houston. They are a high volume multiple manufacturer dealership (Now anyway, started chevy dealer). Generally associated with low price deals because of low overhead and volume.

I did not know they were ebaying vehicles, just thought with their foot traffic that they would not need to. The price looks ok for the condition, but I would still like to see it in person and drive it before I made any real commitment. Goose neck has been behind it for how many of those 93k miles and was it cared for with love and affection.

Look carefully. It says "... has the remaining of 100k miles or 7 years factory warranty from in-service date." By my calculation that is 6366 miles remaining.
The Cummins should run problem free at least 400,000 miles (unless chipped and beaten). But bear in mind that your warranty is only another 6366 miles (couple of months probably) and you do not know if it was "chipped and beaten". If it was not chipped and beaten, it is probably a great deal !!

Took the words right out of my mouth.. Pretty high miles too.. Must of done a lot of towing/longhauling?? If the price is right and that's what you want then heck ya do it!!
