Check kbb.com and see what it is really worth and then pay what you are willing to pay.

Oh wow. That sounds like an awesome deal. The tires alone are worth 2 grand. As far as upgrades, youre not going to be able to knock him down much. If its clean id hop all over it. Just have a mechanic check that engine out, and check all the fluids. Not that hes not trustworthy, but dont ever trust people selling vehicles. As far as kbb. Its never hardly accurate, and it wont take into considerstion the rebuilt motor, lift, tires, and everything else listed. Honestly, have it checked top to bottom, walk up with 6800 hundred cash, if he doesnt take that, then pull out 2 more hundreds and say thats all you got. Take it or leave it.

Well it is worth what he is willing to pay. I just got my 98 for $1800. Kbb.com gives you a place to start with a price. You can agree with it or not. As the buyer it is your choice.

With my first 4X4 when I was ready for larger tires. I went to Discount Tire and told them to put the largest tire that would not rub on it. With all the lifting that the truck you are looking at has. Tire rub might not be an issue, but the weight of the tires might be an issue with the Breaks. Some times one Mod necessitates another Mod.

Note on the price: 954X4 is 100% right about Cash. If you can take $100 bills and a Large Friend. They both may get you a better deal. The friend of course is for your safety with all that cash, lol.
