Default Looking to buy 1998.5 24v 4x4 with 311k km

Have been looking for a cummins diesel because of their legendary reliability and I found one for $2500 with 325k km. "New turbo, new front end, new box to put on back, 4x4, and trans rebuilt within last 100k". Looking to get some opinions on this price/this truck. Add says it needs some TLC but I mean with all the "new parts" explained it cant need much right? As long as its not inside the engine I can pretty much do all the work on it myself anyways.

Hello,
If it runs down the road good the price seems OK. Sounds like the big ticket items have been replaced. If its a mechanically sound truck I would pay that. I got my 2wd (200K Miles) 01 for 3K so I guess your in the ball park if its what you want. I would just make sure the Cummins is Ok.

In the end your still buying a 3/4 ton truck with 325,000 miles on it. You get what you pay for.
