you need to read this post first.
https://dodgeforum.com/m_1259126/tm.htm

it mentions all of the issues you will face with a RAM with this many miles on it.
Larger tires = more stress on the transmission.
if well taken care of and properly geared it will be fine.

find out as much about it being serviced.
When were:
the front bearings replaced
the transmission was rebuilt
cat replaced
plenum gasket looked at
the brakesdone

then ask...
ever taken off road
ever towed

the big question is the transmission rebuild.

other than that, if it comes up clean and good, offer $6500 then work your way up to $6900 or so. Best of luck. welcome to the forum.
