That thing looks pretty good, if u look closely u can see it has front a -arm skid plates

 

What did the guy say when you called?

When you picking it up?

 

Seriously it looks good enough to warrant cheking it out, and then buying it unless there is something really messed up (like I discussed earlier).

You didnt comment on your ability to make repairs yourself etc, but even if you dont know a whole lot as long as you can work a wrench well enough to remove parts you shouldnt have to worry much about the "value" because there is more of it in the parts than the whole thing anyhow, and as an added plus your buying it right.
