Maintenance records

Priced to high for truck with almost 200k miles. Upper and lower ball joints, rotors, water pump, all fluids needs replaced, and more maintenance recommended by the owners manual. Additional $7k needed to have older truck to be highway ready. I don't get the inflation prices for used trucks with high mileage
