Default Looking at buying an 03 2500

Ok so I'm looking to buy my friends 2003 Dodge 2500 Crew Cab 4wd Laramie with 148,xxx. He doesn't drive it any more because of diesel prices and wants to pay off his loan and get a house so he is selling it.

He has a few mods done to it which are:
Transmission Rebuild by Performance Innovations with new Trq Converter 3200$
Bully Dog Tuner with digital gauges 700$
Raptor Air Dog 150 Fuel Pump 370$
Farm Boys 5" exhaust with 4" turbo back 370$
AFE stg2 intake 4-500$
Leveling kit 150$
New steering box 200$
New Upper Ball Joints 90$ x2
35" Nitto Trail Grapplers on 3rd Gen Alloys (Tires almost new) 1300$
AC doors replaced with metal doors

Price are what i looked up on xtreme diesel and other places, all just estimates.

This guy takes car of his truck, its not beat up at all very clean outside and in. I was just wonder if it was a good deal. He wants 18,000$ for the truck.

Any info will help, Thanks!

seems a little steep for an 03. awesome truck- i love mine, but see if he'll take 16k for it. the 03 doesnt have the same diagnostics due to computer limitations, but it has a stronger block than the later models. start it, drive it, and if it makes you grin, buy it.
