Talking hey!

Hey guys!! I recently got into a accident totaling my car! (A dodge neon! I know it wasn't a good choice but ahh well) I refuse to buy another car!! I am looking for a truck! Of course I want a ford! So if you are in Wisconsin close to Milwaukee, and you want to sell a truck for pretty cheap, let me know! I would appreciate any advice on how not to get ripped off when getting a truck! Let me know!

Check the engine, drivetrain, etc for leaks or other problems. Look at the oil and tranny fluid for sludge or discoloration, general cleanliness of the engine compartment. Depending on how old the truck is or how many miles you might want to check steering and suspension components. Check the front tires for uneven wear, for signs of bad alignment.

Also depends what things you can do yourself.

If you don't know what to look for have someone you trust look at it.

Thanks for the advice!! I will do most of that by myself but I will most likely have my step dad with me too!!
