We are figuring it needs quite a bit of work but it really doesn't have tons of miles on it for a 10 year old truck. Only 75,000 so we are figuring with a few repairs, we can squeeze a whole lot more out of it.
It has a few problems that we are thinking will cost around $5,000 - $7,000 to fix. Leak in the transmission, rusted parts of undercarriage, running boards rusted off, air conditioning is broken, makes a nice loud noise on start up that we have no idea what it is, code says oxygen sensors are bad.
It is going into the shop for a "check up" tonight so the results of that may greatly change our thinking. But heck ... we could drop a whole engine in there for less than a new one!
