what should i do

I am currently test driving a 06' 3500 quad cab 5.9l 4x4 6spd manual, truck drives and runs like new, the inner right rear hub seal is leakin a bit but is an easy fix, truck is like new condition inside and out, it has 238,000 miles on it and i can pick it up for 14k, is it worth it, and what concerns should i have with it

i'm not sure what your price range is But we've been seeing 06 trucks on the dealer lots with 20-30k on them anywhere from 20-26K. I almost bought a 2006 QC 2500 short bed 4x4 with only 8k on it for 25K the other day...I thought a bit to long about it and when I went back it was gone.

I'd maybe think about something else, with no maintenance records, and 238K on the clock it seems really pricey to me. JMO

I ment to say that there are no repairs recorded, it seems like it has been really well maintained and drives no different then any of the new ones, i dont think i am gonna let the milage scare me too much with the condition and working order of the truck, one of my buddys thought it only had like 60k on the clock when i had the odometer on trip when he couldnt see the actual milage, it is an exceptionally good running truck it surprises me how it runs and drives
