Default Is it worth it?

Ok guys, I ran across this truck and my fiance is kinda fond of it and the price doesnt seem outta line to me but I like to have second opinions on things. Kinda interested in it... I talked to the guy a little and said it was stock other than the muffler being mia. Said it was in great mechanical shape. I only text him due to the fact i was in school at the time so i have limited info but just at first glance what do you guys think?
1995 dodge diesel 3500

I think that is a good deal for that truck. The truck looks real good. I would say buy it but make sure the trans. is in good shape cause that might be the reason he is selling it.

Well my old lady wants the truck. She doesnt need a 4wd and neither do I really. The auto is actually alright. She has a light foot and if its not wore out a good shift kit and maybe a valvebody and a good billet single disk convertor and it would be golden. I really would like to have it but we will see how things turn out.

Looks pretty good. I would check out the trans and check out the front end for worn out parts cause little stuff adds up

Its probably worth it but it sound to the high side if you ask me. It kind of depends on how you like it. If the trans is in good shape and all the other mechanicals are it should make a truck you could drive for a long time.

Agreed, same here.

You NEVER see 12v's with less than 200k around here.
