opportunity

[2wdmuddin]

i have an opportunity to switch a my truck plus cash that i am mildly unsure about and was looking for some opinions. the guy i bought my truck from has a 2001 ranger xlt xdended cab 4.0 automatic, im unsure of the mileage. hes willing to trade my 94 xdended cab 3.0 auto with 205,000 on it but only 55,000 on the trans, plus $1000. i know the interior of the 2001 isnt bad exept for the seat, but the truck has been sitting for about a year. i dont want to trade my truck, but i beleive it may be developing a head gasket problem and i dont have the time to be without a truck. any opinion is appreciated. thanks in advance.

im guessing this is a bad idea

Sounds fishy to me.

Hasn't been driven for a year eh? I say walk away from it.

maybe his truck is developing a head gasket problem as well. anytime something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

and it hasn't been driven for a whole year because...?

Sound like a great buy for a 5.0L swap!

i went and looked at it on thursday and its got 197,000 2 blown airbags that are not gettig replaced and the interior sucks. its been sitting because like mine the guy bought it wrecked to fix and sell, nut this one just sat longer than mine did. i did find out today that my truck isnt a head gasket but just a water pump seal. so my tryck is deffinantly being kept and fixed. thanks for the advice though
