Jeremy , Make sure brake fluid is topped off , and gear oil is cheched by removing the big plug on the back of the center section (rear) level should be just below the plug or so , If you can feel gear oil on your finger you should be good to go . If you are low just top it off with 80/90w ...

If everything checks out , that is a good price for a" ride and drive ' as they say . It's worth the money just for the good sheet metal alone , plus some of the mechanicals have been done already .
