From the sounds of that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />, you don't want to do business with him anyway. Everything that came out of the guy's mouth is a bunch of BS; miles are miles, Yotas or no; bank's looking if you need the least bit of financing at all, for ANY vehicle.

The 3.0's had head gasket issues; you didn't mention the year of this one. If it's a 3.0, take the VIN to the dealer and see if the head gaskets were taken care of or not.

Sometimes you need to just buy a car; take it this is your first one? Get over it if you can't find a reliable TRUCK. Sheet, how much junk you have anyway? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Don't get your knickers in a knot; don't let your Dad pressure you into buying a heap.
