That high milage I would pay careful attention to certain areas, but if it were well maintained and the price was right I would not hesitate to purchase.

Check all the ball joints and tie rod ends for wear. Make sure they have an impeccable service record on it.

You will be able to tell from the wear and tear how it was treated.

I have had no issues with my electronic T-Case switch. I too prefer a manual lever, but those are getting fewer and fewer.

And since there is no warranty....

DELETE!
