Default Looking to buy another Dakota

I am looking at a 2001 club cab 4x4 with the 4.7L. The truck is super clean, my only reservation is that the motor has 135,000miles. What are your opinions? Is that too risky of milage for this engine? Thanks

Oh by the way they are asking $4,995 for the truck.

I have a 138k miles on mine right now and it still runs mint. Doesn't burn any oil. Still has good power. 135k isn't bad at all for a 4.7.

And $4,995 seems like a pretty fair starting price to me. Good luck man
