Need advice on 1990 w250 ASAP!!

Hey first gen guys, I am looking at a 1990 W250 LE automatic out here in california. The odometer stopped working at 149,000 and the guy thinks it has 200,000 on it. Passenger power window does not work and neither does the door lock. A/C compressor works,but is leaking oil. Has new pump from 06 and new tranny w/billet converter in 04. Started right up with only black smoke. Body only has 2 small dings other than the fading paint. He wants $2500 for it. Has all records from original owner and his own. Does not leak any oil. You guys can see it on craigslist in the fresno section. It drove good. Seems like an honest guys. It has a tow package so do you guys know what gears are in it? He said it tops out at about 75. Thanks.. Justin

There should be a sticker on the front right side underneath the hood stating what gears it has but I'm guessing it has 4.10s due to the 75mph top speed and being a stock truck. $2500 is a very good price IMO, I'd jump on that pretty quick if I were you. A few bucks invested into it and your laughing

Hope this helps

Luke

For $2500 it's hard to go wrong.
