Any advice on buying a FL70?

Hi folks.
I'm looking at purchasing a 1997 Freightliner FL70 with 225,000 miles, 24' Dock High with day cab, up to 26,000 gvw. The truck will mostly be performing local and regional pick-up and deliveries. Can anyone give me any advice as to a ballpark figure to pay for this truck, assuming good condition & a lift gate? Also, are there any pitfalls to this particular model or year of Freightliner? It will be my first dock high straight truck. Most of my experience has been with cargo vans and small box trucks. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Can you advise what type of engine and transmission it has and what is the price that the seller wants. Last year I sold a 96 FL 70 with 905,000 on it for $6500. Original engine and transmission were still working well but in the expediting business most of those miles were highway miles and not local.
