250K is the motor rebuild point, but the 12v is also called the million mile motor

okay, should i see if he'll throw in any cash? Or would you just reccomend staying away. He says it doesnt smoke at all and has never been turned up or anything like that.

Roof rust is a deal breaker. It is almost impossible to repair properly so it goes away and stays away. I would never buy a truck with roof rust no matter what else it had going for it, unless it was just for parts.

300k shouldn't be too bad. If the engine runs good and trans shifts well. i would be more concerned with things like frame etc..
