Default Is this 12 valve worth it?

Hi everyone! New to the forum and I need some advice. I'm looking at a single cab 95 12 valve 5 speed 4x4. It has 152000 miles on it and leaks no oil. It has never had any mods whatsoever. No exhaust or anything. The interior is rough but body is straight and does not appear to be peeling paint. It needs all tags to be legal. The guy wants 6700 for it. He said that is as low as he will go on the price. We all know cash talks so I wanted some other opinions as what I should do. Thanks

Down here in south fl that would be a good deal. I bought my 94 for 3750 but ended up putting almost 3k more to get it where I want and I still have oil leaks. Does it have any blow by? I assume no due to the mileage

I'm thinking it would be a good rig as my first was a 95 single cab dually 5 speed 2wd. I pull started it with my old stroke and ended up putting a whole front end and tires on it for 3 k before repairs. I miss it. Sold it for a steal. If he has it in 2 weeks I'll probly hop on it. I'm gonna try and leave it stock but its hard not to pipe it at least.

It will be stock. Just tuned. If I can get close to 300 HP with tuning alone I'm good..... For now

Lol I know. I just going the poor mans route for power. Plus I like to tinker. Budget power would be better than stock. I meant power with nothing other than stock components. I hope the truck is still available in 2 weeks.
