Should I?
 
Check out this truck! I got to drive it today and it drove like a dream! Got all up on it and no strange noises and the engine bay looks like a museum picture, everything is shiny. I think it may be overpriced a tad I guess Ill check out Edmunds, KBB, and NADA and see.

Yea thats the only thing I dont like about it... I was mainly gonna use it for work but it shoudnt be a problem since we do haul material but its always on concrete or a flat surface...

If your using it for work it will pay for itself in the end ! :thumbsup:

Ironically it says extra clean on the window yet the carpet's door panels and steering wheel are filthy. It will be a nice truck once you shampoo the interior. I say if the price is right go for it.

04chevyboy 04-18-2012 12:32 PM

I would say talk them down then go for it!

Sorry for the late update. Im kinda itchy about the truck now. The dealer. Keep calling me everyday about it and he is making me mad. I explained to him that Monday- Thursday I leave for work at 4am and I get off at 4pm. I leave work and go straight to school for 5:30pm to 9:30pm. He wants me to stop by his shop to leave a couple hundred dollars so he can hold it. I told him no money transactions are gonna happen without my bank being in it. My coudin wad in the same situation last year with a roadmaster and he changed his mind and they kept his downpayment. Everyday he calls and leavea voicemails... Seems shady to me. Car dealers are scum, why try and rip people off? I guess Ill use that downpayment for parts on the Monte. Zzp pcm, wheel bearings, axles, and brakes will turn off the christmas light dash board I have lol.

Ha sounds like a plan it's better to be safe!

BlackRainSS 04-19-2012 05:53 PM

Does sound fishy but never hurts to look. Ik I've regreted not looking at a few vehicles in the past where aas when i do look at them and they suck im happy to know. So pist the dealer I bought my Ford from just got in a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4 door with 58k for 11,000.
