Decent deal. I've never heard of a Magnum motor being junky. Sure there was probably a few that were..

As for gas mileage, it'll probably be about 15-20.

this truck is not for me.he wants 2500.00 cash total for it.it is not enough to me for that kind of money.it has rust on bottom front door and bottom fender,it has been patched with a screen(same as you would a hole in a wall in a home) and the paint was in bad shape.
