Default Looking to buy

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a Dakota. I know nothing about dodge. The one I'm looking at is a 1998 ext cab v6 4x4 auto trans. It has 130k miles. Is that a lot of miles? Also, if I go to check out the truck what are some common problems I should look for? What kind of price should I expect to pay for this? Thank for your help.

Most definitely get a V8. The engines are solid, the trans not so much. At that mileage see if its been rebuilt yet. Balljoints are problematic. Paint peeling.
