97 LX450 opinions please on possible purchase

[DR71]

Just wanted some other opinions, but looks like a possible slam dunk to me if everything is tight and no oil leaks......97' with 4wd lockout, perfect leather, zero rust, runs and drives great, built in air comp, OME suspension, Slee sliders, 274K. The owner is asking $8700 Im going to see it today.

Not much to add but is this a replacement or addition to the herd?

The cupholders indicate a possible fellow mud hater which may bode well for maintenance quality. White '97 is where it's at in my opinion

Very clean underneath with no visible oil leaks just a minimal amount of seepage but about as tight as they get especially with 270k. Needs a few minor things like a new heat deflector on the underside of the hood. Someone really took care of it but itwas repainted which I dont like. I'm still on the fence though.....

Absolutely, do not buy it. Owner is asking for too much. Please give me the owner's contact details and I will talk them down

jk, with all those mods and gear, it is a massive steal. I would probably have the engine checked for compression but other than that, great find!! I just bought mine a few months ago with 256K on the clock - the engine still purrs.

Has the head gasket been replaced?

Saw this one pop up too - certainly looks like a good price with all that it has on it. Any intel on why it was repainted (outside of just being a 20+ year old truck)?
