Great advice. Check oil color, see if black or brown. If it looks light, they may have added oil. Does it burn oil? Look at exhaust pipe if black inside. Also very important on 4 wheel drive; put it in low range and test. Does it go in? Any bad sounds forward or back or turning. Check All lights work. Check bed and tail gate. Does it work properly. Check each tire. Is there a wear on insides or out? Are tires brand new? Could mean alignment or ball joints needs repair. Check springs, any damage or broken. Also, check shocks, any leaks, or are they worn out. Check engine mounts: put in gear/drive holding foot on break and step on gas pedal some, Does the engine sound OK, or do you hear a clunk when you let off on gas? Could mean mounts are broken. Also, check if emergency break works at the same time while testing engine mounts. Does emergency break hold? If it has a tow hitch, is it in good condition. Also turn on heater and make sure it works and same for AC. And check the blower to make sure it works in all speeds. Remember, if you buy privately, you're BUYING AS IS.

- Check steering and suspension components. - In the rust belt, be careful slamming on the brakes...could blow a line (especially on pre-07 trucks) very easily. - Check and smell the transmission fluid. - Check for wet carpet...if its wet, where's it coming from (seal, sunroof, heater core, or floors rotted out). - If possible, bring your own OBD-II scan tool...the light may not be on, but there can be pending or stored codes (some codes don't even trigger the light). - Check exhaust manifold bolts for missing heads (usually only missing the one front and one rear won't mean there's a leak, yet)

When truck shopping ladies, I suggest showing up prepared to get dirty (old clothes and shoes, work gloves, hair up, minimal makeup, etc.). It can help cut through some of the b.s. women are subjected to in a male dominated situation. Bonus points for grease stains and dirty fingernails.😄

I'm a Chevy guy but if you are a single woman that wants to save money don't buy a newer GM trucks because of AFM issues unless the person built the motor and deleted it. The active fuel management in newer GM trucks are the reason they have went through a lawsuit, it causes catastrophic lifter failure and causes your engine to tick until it dies unless you fix it which is a lot of money, again I'm a Chevy guy I'm just honest.

Im glad you bring up the emotional part of buying something you want, I was getting to happy thinking about buying a used truck but I’m realizing now that I need to slow down and think more on what’s wrong with it then rushing it and pulling the trigger on the purchase, thanks for all the advice man, it really does help us who don’t know much about trucks learn to not get screwed by dealers or 3rd party sellers

Its also a good idea to visually and physically inspect steering components. Get under and pull and rock the tie rods to check for play. Maybe even bring your own jack and raise the nose up and rock the tire and spin it to check ball joints, idler arm, pitman arm, wheel bearings. Just to get an idea of what ,if anything, would need replaced

@kcscustom9759

Great info! Contain your excitement, I like that one. I think that is very important especially if it’s going to be your first vehicle/it’s your first time buying a vehicle. There’s a ton of little things that can easily be missed if you are not taking your time and paying 100% attention to every little detail. A few more things I might add along with looking for leaks, oil or transmission fluid coming from in between the engine and transmission is probably the worst leak you could find but also check things like axle seals. Also open & close all of the doors make sure they all close properly and then take a GOOD look at the vehicles body lines and panel gaps. Chances are if some look off compared to the rest the vehicle has more then likely been in an accident. To go along with that make sure there are no cracks/damaged areas in the frame! In a lot of states once the vehicles frame is damaged it is no longer legal to drive on public roads and will not pass state safety inspection, even if it has been repaired. One more very important thing, look under the seats at the seat brackets, if they have ANY more then a little bit of surface rust, then the vehicle has likely been in a flood or underwater at some point in its life and that can potentially have caused a lot of damage to the vehicle.

I'd say also check the wheel bearings, it's one of them hidden things that people forget about. Most of the newer chevy trucks are bolt on hub assembly but other cars and trucks differ. And it's easy to miss. But can cause serious issues down the line if you dont know or are unaware.

Another thing ive noticed is going incredibly slow straight and around turns, like creeping to 10 mph can expose some things as well. Thats a tip i wish i knew a long time ago. Some problems seem to hide when going a little faster.

@sailincat2822
@sailincat2822 Год назад
Know approximate blue book value, or have web access to it, and know how to look up fast. Might get a lower price from a private seller, maybe also help with delivery. But watch out for buying someone else's problems and wildly optimistic asking prices. (I won't even bother to contact if they're completely unrealistic.) Private seller may honestly not understand true condition or fair market value of the vehicle they're selling; may take pointing out flaws, counter offers, and other routine price negotiations and legal precautions personally. Honest, well established dealerships have a reputation to protect, and are eager for word-of-mouth advertising and repeat business. Dealership may have a better selection, in better condition, likely inspected, maybe with a limited warranty. They may be more comfortable letting you take a long test drive, or take home overnight. (They know you're less likely to back out after showing it off to your family and friends.) If they have a lift, then you might be able to get a vehicle up in the air so you can look around underneath. Trading in may seem convenient, but you'll almost always be money ahead by selling your previous vehicle yourself. Dealer may be able to locate what you want if not on the lot. Or they may try to talk you into buying what's in stock, and may try to pile on b.s. fees. I make it clear up front, I'll walk away at the first sign of irritating or sleazy tactics. Don't underestimate the value and convenience of a dealer temp tag to get you home and on the road while you're awaiting new tag and paperwork! Happy truck hunting!

Ford seems to be more widely available than chevy in my area. I have no knowledge of what engines or years to look for. I want something that'll be reliable, I'm not planning on using it to tow super heavy things. Just want it for practicality and to be able to have it when I need it. My budget is 15k and it has to be 2010 or newer. Any help, suggestions? What should I look for or stay away from. Thanks everyone!

kelly's blue book is not worth referencing. Kelly bluebook was bought by a parent company that sells used cars. Kelly's bluebook values are really over valued, always offer 20% less than kelly's blue book value. 20% is usually the used car dealers commision on top of operating cost. It's like referencing JD power and associates, they are a PR firm bought by car manufactures for their endorsement.
