2007 GMC 3500 Dually

So after my 2002 2500HD 6.0 gasser was stolen a few weeks back, my uncle stepped up and offered to loan me his dually until I can find another truck. Then he says, "if you like it, you can buy it for $7000".

The truck seems to run great,, very quiet. It has 191K on it, new batteries, new brakes and the tires have about 20k on them. It has a cracked windshield and is missing the tailgate. It is set up for 5th wheel. Of course it's the Duramax 6.6 w/ automatic tranny ( Allison? ),, and it has the +/- on the shifter, but I haven't looked into how that works yet. It also has a couple of other small issues like the electric door locks don't work, nor does the cruise control.

Now I've never owned a diesel, or a dually. But my gut is telling that at $7000, I should buy it? What do you guys think?
