Need an opinion on 05 4.4 purchase

[Coloradocajun72]

Hello everyone,

Currently I am looking at an 05 x with the 4.4 6 speed in it. 124000mi

interior is immaculate with an aftermarket double din radio, the factory unit in the cargo area. beige leather heated seats steering park assist ect ect.

Exterior, Paint is in decent shape, some rock chips on the front, no repaints anywhere, and no dents.

underside.... here is were is gets iffy, the belly pan is moist, no running or active drips,
CV boot right side torn
Although it stops fine fine, the state inspection failed it for brakes. all the rotors look even and clean after test run.

all the engine hoses are original, no leaks.

Price 8800 from stealership. had it for 3 days.

Buying opportunity or should I stay away?

a little history, I did have an 02 e53 with 3.o and the wife loved it as did I,

and the maintenance was uptodate when I got it. and didn't have many problems, window regulators, keys dying, cv axles front. so out of 7 years of owner ship I let it go after a wreck.

I felt alittle lucky with that one, whats the opinion on this and are the V8s just as reliable? are there things I should be considering having done at this mileage no matter what?

Thanks
Rob
