Truck Question - Dodge

[Sally Aungier <aungish@UNOS.org>]

I have an opportunity to buy a super Dodge truck and would like to hear
from others who might have this same model.  I am interested in any
problems or attributes. (especially, longevity)
It is a 1995 V10,with  heavy duty towing package, leather interior,
standard cab with only 16,000 miles on it. He wants $18,000.  It has
been the personal truck for a friend who is also a dealer and he has
used it for hauling (antique cars) most of those miles.  He wants to
sell it only because as a dealer  he feels that he needs to be showing
off a newer model.  He really seems hesitant to part with it as it is
such a nice vehicle.  He indiated that it hauled over the Va. mountains
and left others in the breeze!
I'm currently driving a 1986 F250, a super truck that is just getting
high in mileage.  Even after all these years I'm a real wimp when it
comes to hauling since I'm so often by myself.  Most Va rides are either
in or over the mountains from us so I need a truck with some real power.
My trailer right now is not an issue, it is just a 2 horse stock.  I do
however, plan to upgrade to a 2-horse goose with living quarters in the
next year or so.

So what do you folks think?  Should I go for it?  And if I do does
anyone want to buy a really nice F250 with 170,000 miles and a brand new
radiator?  It runs great.

Now, where are all those folks who have asked if I was interested in
selling my truck when it wasn't for sale?
