Buying/Selling

I was thinking of buying a 97 Ford work van. The van is out in front of some company in an industrial area of town (Pell City AL). I was looking for a cheap vehicle for my side landscaping and yard cleaning business. There were 2 vans a 95 or 96 dodge (500 or 600 miles) and now only the 96 or 97 ford-i think it has around 600k miles on it. The guy said it blew out a plug and misses. He said it only needs the plug but it would take a good mechanic for to replace it. He said his company only put about 10k on the van (taking guys to job sites 7 days a week). He said it has been for sale about 2 wees and he will take 500.00 for it. He said I can talk to his mechanics and the warehouse before I buy it. It runs now. It looks rough and it has seats and mud inside it.

My question is; would it be worth it? Thinking of buying a kit to rethread (5 or 6 threads may need a rethread) at another online site (approx. 127.00 it) and having all 6 or 8 of the plugs replaced.
