Im thinking of buying this truck! Feedback please

So its a 1993 Toyota Pickup 4x4 V6 5 Spd Ext cab with 250,000. Here are some pics and the listing.

What do you guys think? it looks decent. He went down to 4500. Should i look more closely or just forget about it?

He said the motor was serviced by toyota so I'm guessing that means the head gasket problem was solved? He said that's it doesn't over heat and doesn't leak a drop. Sound ok?

looks like a decent truck but for a 6" lift seems to sit a bit low.. (not a bad thing)
like Tofer said price is a little on the high side...

guess it depends on what you are looking for..looks better than this one, but at least it looks lifted:

Good move, I think you'll be much happier with the 3.4 over the 3.0.
