Default Should I, or Should'nt I

I have a chance to buy a 00 4door Z71 from the dealer I work at. The truck is fully loaded with leather. Push button 4wd and leather, New tool box,dual exhaust,and windows are tinted. The truck has 107k miles on it. I was told I could get it for $11,500 What do you guys think? Its a really nice truck but the miles make me think.

Prolly still runs very strong as long is it was kept up which it sounds like it was but I personally would rather spend the extra couple a $K to get sumthin with lower miles.

Price seems fair but again I would prefer to spend a bit more for less miles.

Thats what I was thinkning, But I have heard very very good things about these motors. Not so good about the tranny though. I heard as long as you keep the oil changed and not run the **** out of it then it should last to about 300k miles.
