Default prodigal son returns

Ok guys so I sold my ranger awhile back and now have a chance to get another one.
Its a 2003 ranger XLT 5 spd. 4.0 4x4 with 116,000.Its my buddy's and he said I could have it for $2800. Now just from a quick drive and look at it. Its going to need front pads/rotors, rear shocks, 2 tires, and air bag light is on. I will try to get some pics tonight, but what do u guys think?

I see the brakes, shocks and tires as maintenance more or less. I would just wonder about the airbag light.

Dents can usually be pulled? If its no too bad. And cracked valance is only about $60-75 if you order off the internet and install your self

Te airbag light could be the plug under the seat undone or has trash in the connector
