2000 v10 for $4500

So this will be my first F-series truck as I have been
an avid Toyota fan since I begin driving but now I'm
getting into a business where I need more tow
capacity and have come across a deal at least in
my mind that is a 2000 F250 extended cab 170000
miles and they want 4500 for it. I have not test
drove it or giving it a visual Rundown but I don't
want to get into something that is a gas guzzler
and mechanics nightmare. I'm pretty handy and
have been working on Toyotas Nissan's and had a
71 Bronco for five years obviously that was a piece
of cake.
