Default Need some buying advice

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a Dakota and was wondering if anyone could tell me a fair price for this 2005 quad cab? http://www.autotrader.com/dealers/dd...er_id=47894843 Are there any issues I should know about with these trucks at that mileage?

The score was 82, about an average score. Not everything is reported though.

The front end is one area to really check out on these trucks.
