If someone were to by my 95 LC which presently has 118K, they would not have to dump any money into it, unless something unforseen happened. Of course, I am the original owner and its been well maintained.
On the other hand, the stories I read here about people buying these trucks used and having to spend lots of money, are not encouraging. My conclusion is that buying a used LC without extensive maintenance records, is a bad idea. Of course, if you have the skills of some of the people who post here and your purchase price is right, then its no big deal.
The only risk regarding this truck in Texas is the cost of the flight and the return journey. There is ample opportunity to check it out and the seller has given you an out that won't get you lines of bad feedback on Ebay.
