Default Looking to buy a 98 ram 1500

Hey guys, i'm new here obviously. I may be trading my 94 V6 Firebird for a 98 Ram 1500.

It's got 200k miles on it, so im not looking for a show car. He said it's got a slight tick, from what ive researched that can be anything from an exhaust leak, to lifters or pushrods. All of those i have no problems to fix. Just hops it's not a knocking or anything. heres the ad,

What do you guys think? What should i look for?

The truck is only going to get about half the fuel mileage your bird gets... if that.

The truck was complete junk. Didnt even have a title even though he said it was clear..

I don't really mind gas mileage. I get about 19 with my bird.

The search continues...
