Welcome back!!

Well...most of the ones I've seen with that mileage go from 4k to 6k in NH. I bought mine for 5500 from SC, just before the headgasket went lol...so be sure to check for that. Portable compression tester or take it to a dealer etc etc.

If the head goes, plan on spending 1 to 2k to have someone do it, or 400 and a few weekends if you do it yourself (and I applaud those who do it themselves).

Check for rust under the spare and under the rear quarters...and under the carpet behind the passenger/driver seat. If you got some there, expect some decent body work to be had (500-1k).

There really is a laundry list of things to look for, PM me if you're interested...I'm not sure everyone wants to see a novel here lol...

Goodluck (and always offer low...the worst they can say is no)
