Did I find a good one?

Hey, ya'll!!
  This guy pulled up to Firestone yesterday in a shiny red V8 Dakota.
He hopped out and I walked over to him and said "So, how much you gonna
sell me your truck for?!" He stepped back and
looked at me kindof funny, then said "$1000 and you take over the
payments."
  So I said "Yeah, what do you owe, like another 4 years?" (The truck
looked like it was 4 months old)
  He said "No, 2 more. $375 a month."

Well, come to find out, 27 months left at $375, plus the $1000 cash he
wants to use as a downpayment on "the Big Dodge I want to get" -as he
said (referring to an R/T!)
  This works out to a total of $10,125 plus $1000=$11,125 over 2 more
years, or less than
that if I just pay off his balance now and give him the $1000.
  Here's the truck-
'98 Sport, Regular Cab, Shortbed, 2 wheel drive, 5 spd, V8 318 CID, Air,
CD/Tape, 9.25" Axle, 3.92 rear gears, posi-traction, 10" rear brake
system, 15X7 aluminum wheels with P235/75R15XL tires, and I'm not sure
what else, that's what I got off the sticker in the glove box.
  He financed it through Chrysler, with whom I have great credit!
  I'll be working on the details this week, but I got a guy that's
buying my '92 for $6500, so let's see what happens! The only concession
I have to make on this truck from what I wanted was the 5speed vs. the
automatic.
  What do you think, is this a good deal finally?
Patrick
