usually with that high of a millage vehicle theres a reason hes selling it. Most people with that many miles would just drive it into the ground if its running OK and only dump it after some major issues crop up - usually to the junkyard.
If its $500 or less its worth a gamble tho if you can do the work on it yourself and can properly test out and look for problems before buying it.

That's what I thought too, why would you sell something that old and high mileage. Just drive it into the ground.

Also, if you were in the southern US that many miles means alot less than those of us who live in the north. Cold, wet, salty winters do more damage than mileage. I dunno if canada salts their roads like here in the northeast US but either way snow is brutal on vehicles. Sounds like a pass to me unless when you say cheap your talkin a few hundred. Scrap value for the metal alone is about 300 here so buy it for 250 and scrap it for a 50 dollar profit lol.

In the last few years around here they started using this new liquid glue like crap they spray down before it snows. Man that crap sticks to your truck like freaking tar. Then they pile calcium chloride on top for a gooey mixture of metal eating hell.... most people around here have a summer and a winter car just because it's insane to drive a decent vehicle on the roads after October.
