Sounds good if there is no rust. Just make sure you take it for a good long test drive. And remember to check the rust spots such as Under the doors(where drain holes are located),around front struts,around rear lights, floor boards ,ect.
don't forget to check 4X4 shifting and hubs. Take tracker/zuki on highway ---no shimmy--good.
Don't forget to make list of things to check because it is easy to forget.
Also open hood,with motor stopped and keys in pocket, put hand between rad and fan blade. now gently run fingers on rad core. if rad cor fins brake or fall off then rad core is rotten.
You can buy cheap OBD2 on feabay for about $40 (elm327)
Will owner let you do compression test.
Can you do a code scan before you buy.
Also one last thing , but don't tell owner, find piece of WET grass .
put tracker in 4X4 high and turn wheels to right and hammer gas. You only want to go ten feet and lisin for any noise. Now do same with wheels turned left .and try to notice any strange noise. Remeber to go VERY SHORT distance. You only want to go about ten feet doing this --no more and be really carefull
BE CAREFULL
Also don't use your lawn , use one afew blocks away--best not to PO wife.
