Question noob alert! 89 sr5 v6 p-up

I need to haul my motorcycles to and from the track. It also has to be my daily driver.

A toyota mechanic is selling his 89 sr5 v6 p-up for $4500. It has around 115k miles. The clutch is stock. How long will this last? But most of the other items are a year old, brakes, tank, fuel lines etc. He has some spares also.

What should I offer him? edmunds says dealer sale is $4200 and private sale should be $3200.

Personally, I think the price is kinda high! I have an '89 sr-5 v6 extracab and I bought it 4 1/2 yrs. ago for $1500, no rust, and the previous owner had all the records from the time it was new!
I replaced the original clutch @ 275,000 miles and I rebuilt the engine at 297,000!

Maybe $3000!

You may want to take a look at similar vehicles local to your area, see what they are priced at in NADA, KBB, and the auto trader. Take an average of all those and that will give you a pretty good idea as to what you should pay. Personally, it adds a bit of appeal in my book if someone can show proof of receipts, etc. I would be willing to pay a couple hundred extra for documentation, but not much more.
