Default HELP: To Buy or Not To Buy?

HELP

I'm looking to buy the following truck.... but I don't know that much about motors and it already has 200k miles on it.

What do you think my odds are? If it croaked on me, what do you think it could cost to repair or replace?

I know this is a broad question... but I don't want to buy a $7900 truck and then have $10k in repairs.

Thank you

looks clean but IMO 200,000 is nearing the end of the drivetrains expected service life...could be a great truck or could need a new engine and tranny in the near future...i'd keep looking!!
