so when ya add it up $3650 for the truck below
Yeah, that's way overpriced for that many miles.
I bought my 99 in April of 09 with only 96,000 miles on it for $3,800. It came with a boat load of extras that the guy threw in for free because his wife didn't want it taking up space in the garage. So within 2 months I sold the Ladder Rack that came with it for $400 and the Toolbox for $150. Kept the rest of the stuff.

Yeah you got some typos in there no way you did 190, maybe 90 and a 8 second 1/8 aint gonna happen in these trucks unless you got one hell of a motor, maybe a 9 second run, but even a mustang with the mach 1 motor works to play with that line
RMIndy's best 1/8 mile is a 8.26 at 84.8

If you're smart you wont be back.
Uh, bull ****in ****. Straight up bull****. If this actually happened, (which I know it didn't) where did this make news? Surely a truck that does 2/3 the speed of Shockwave would have made news. Also, what tires, bearings, axles and hubs were you using? Tell me about the brakes and the fuel delivery.
Trying to help compare here, mines a 2001 quad cab, 4x4 5.9, had 115,000 on it when I bought it early last year. Came with nerf bars, fiberglass bed cap, towing package, just about fully loaded, and I paid 7k, and I felt I was on the high end the price range.
With that mileage, unless they are offering you one heck of a warranty, I'd walk away and keep searching.
