Ok I have a 98 b2500 with 200,200 miles on it
It currently has an engine idle problem and is in the garage for a tune up. in the past couple of years I have done timing belt, ball joints, shocks, clutch, water pump, and shocks.
I have the chance to buy my grandparents 02 Sport Track. it has 157,000 miles on it. It has all power options and is 4wd. It just recently had a rear axle swap due to bad bearings eating into the axle. My grandfather is not the best when it comes to maintaining his truck. It needs a good tune-up a new set of tires, Some seat repair as the drivers seat has a small rip.
He is wanting to get rid of it and said he would sell it to me for 2500. Should I buy it? it would be really nice to have that extra row of seats and all the power options but I fear it will need some repairs soon. Like timing belt front end parts and shocks. I feel like I have spent a lot of time/money on my truck and I do not want to just toss it to the side but at the same time I would like to upgrade.....
