Cheap 6.0 crew cab

Flume Auto Sales, LLC - Used Car Dealership - San Antonio TX - INDEX

Some of you where asking about this...
This is the guy I just bought my 06 crew cab from. He is getting these fleet trucks dirt cheap! I flew down to San Antonio last week and drove it back. No complaints out of mine. If you need a cheap one might be worth a look....


Of course no affiliation just passing on a good deal...

What's the catch? Salvage titles? Flood cars? I looked at some of the inventory and it looks too good to be true?

The '06 they have on there looks like the degas bottle has been freshly scrubbed clean...

Do used car dealers still use clear coat for the engine bay to make hoses and plastic shiny or are they onto something new?

I've never seen clear coat used, usually some dressing to grease them up and make them shiny.

Clear coat was used years ago. You could tell by grabbing the upper rad hose and squeezing it. The clear would crack.

I dont know I bought one last week. $5000 it checked out good. I have put about 1200 miles on it last week and no problems. It just needs a good cleaning. The engine on mine looks like it was cleaned... Clear title I ran a car fax on it before I bought it. Its a fleet return.

Who knows Ill just keep my fingers crossed.

That is right, you never know. That truck could give you 200K trouble free miles.
