Default 2000 cummins, good deal?

I found a 2000 cummins for 6500. It has 340k on, its an slt laramie. Here's the post : It has Rebuilt transmission, new injection pump, Luk stage 2 clutch, rear break shoes and wheels cyclinders and hardware, new front trac bar, new sway bar bushings, new control arm bushings, new front brake pads, new slave cyclinder, new 4 inch exhaust, alignment, Drag link, Starter, Vacuum pump seals and gaskets, Block heater and cord, Aftermarket parts: edge drag comp box, 150 hp injectors, 180 degree thermostat, luk clutch, air dog fuel pump with filters and 1/2 line and fittings, pillar gauges, strait pipe 4inch, high flow intake manifold, pluged waste gate, BHAF, 285 Tires. Issues: Leaks a little oil from what looks like the rear main. Not bad enough for me to fix. Just keep the oil topped off. 4th syncros are grinding going into 4th gear. Draw straw cut too short so can only run to 1/2 tank of fuel. It is inspected through 8/2011 340K miles. But just getting broken in! New trans!

The truck is in good condition, I just want to know if this is a deal that I should pick up or not and just leave it. Thanks guys!

If you dont mind the miles then its not bad, has a lot of new parts which is good, except for the fact that he says it has a new tranny but 4th syncros grind so that means it wasnt rebuilt right... your also gonna have to replace draw straw because thats a serious issue

I'd never pay that for a truck with that kinda mileage... my buddy sold his for $5800 with 260k. Have you driven it? Whats the body like?

I dont mind the miles, the body is in really nice shape and I'm going to test it out tomorrow.
