I cannot stress how important it is to have a mechanic go over it. It's worth whatever you pay (though I never paid more than $90). I was going to buy a older truck a few years ago and after clean Carfaxes the inspector found problems with all 4 I had him check including 2 with substantial front end damage in a wreck. I finally just bought new ;)
