The #8 wouldn't scare me at that price. I could get a new engine replaced for about 7-8 grand, so to spend another 20k to dodge the #8 doesn't seem worth it if everything else is in good shape.

I wound up with a 98 that had all sorts of stuff replaced within the last few years [engine, trans, differentials,etc] so I wound up with a truck that had a fairly new drive train, but I wound up having to fix small things on my own,some new interior pieces here and there, etc.

In other words I'd buy moderate to high mileage turbo truck around the 30k mark no problem if everything else checked out.
