Im looking to buy an affordable car or truck so I’m thinking to buy this 2005 Chevy avalanche for 6,000 with 245k miles from dealer that doesn’t care about credit. With 1000 down. The interior and exterior is in very good shape.Im keeping this truck for few years or maybe even more as everyday driver.

It's 21 years old with high mileage. Even if in good shape now you can expect issues down the road due to age if nothing else. In particular you can expect the transmission to fail. Can you do your own repairs?

Sounds like a "buy here pay here" (BHPH) dealer. That is a huge red flag. Such dealers tend to be bottom feeders selling junkyard-ready vehicles from auction financed at ridiculously high interest rates. (Serious problems such as frame rot are "fixed" with spray paint.) Then if and when the buyer misses payments the vehicle is repossessed and sold again. That's why the dealer doesn't care about credit - they are expecting to repossess and resell their vehicles multiple times to multiply the $$$$. Big profits.
Although a different kind of vehicle, the following videos by a mechanic show what to expect from such dealers. If you decide to proceed be sure to have a good mechanic inspect it before purchase. If the dealer will not let you do this, run away.
Yeah, right! A dealer only cares about "the money" so as @chucktobias suggests it's VERY unlikely this is a good deal.from dealer that doesn’t care about credit.
