maybe you could wait a little while before your purchase..
save up some $$$ and then spend 7 or so on one just a thought. good luck on whatever you get.

 

Search the net for heavy equipment auctions in your area, thats where I got my 97PSD F250HD for only $2700 needed only minor body work and I mean minor rust around the fender wells. got it with 304,000 miles and now has 316,000 and havent had a major problem yet...knock on wood....theres always lots of pickup trucks some in excellent shape for very little green$$$.
