Default Thinking of upgradeing

Right now I have a 97 5.4 4x4

I was looking at this
http://greensboro.craigslist.org/ctd/3659522083.html
I'm thinking of going down and looking at it and picking out where all the damage was and see if I can get a good deal on it

Is there anything I have to look out for on these I know a good amount about the 97-03 but not so much about the 04-08

Ps I'm going to school for auto body so I know what to look for

Is it typical of dealerships to sell salvage title vehicles? And if you're really concerned you can take it to your own mechanic if you want. I personally avoid salvage titles.

I'm not really to concerned about the salvage title because if the frame or something is bent I can fix it really cheap at school

Gotcha. I'd think cut the price down and go for it
