I'm not entirely sure about that. I find myself looking at exhausts and air intakes for a Powerstroke that I don't yet own. Anyone know a site to look at for truck sales other than www.bargainnews.com and www.autotrader.com ? I'd prefer not to deal with a stealership if at all possible.

i don't know about you powerstroker? but i dealt with a stealership and have not gotten ripped off. i think the key to getting a good deal is know what you are buying and know what the market is in your area, also hold out for what you want even if it takes a little longer. personally i like to drive a truck before i buy and would be very leery of buying anything out of a paper or off the web.

I'd never buy anything without thoroughly looking it over in person and taking it for a drive. My brother found a truck on bargainnews and has had no issues with it. I'm not talking about buying it off there just locating it. You'd have to be an idiot to buy a truck without seeing it in person. I'm not a huge dealership fan though. They always want too much for what they have as compared to private sellers. A private seller will price the vehicle somewhere around reasonable and is genuinely looking to sell the truck. A dealer will be a total jerk and keep the truck on the lot for another 6 months just cause he won't knock 500$ off sticker. At least that's the experience I've had with my local blue oval dealerships.

Alas I don't have 30,000$ to spend on a truck. I'm looking more in the 10-14k range and a dealer doesn't like going much below 14 on a good Super Duty whereas I have located an 01 DRW PSD with heated leather seats, crew cab, and power everything for about 12,500. If I went to my local dealer looking for a truck like that he'd tell me it was worth $18-20,000. The dealers out your way must be a lot different because the ones near me are total nut-jobs.
There is only one dealer that I know of in Connecticut that I have enjoyed being in and that was Interstate Ford in Hartford, but they don't do a lot of used and 40,000$ is not in the budget of a teenage kid. And I apologise to the starter of this thread for sorta hijacking it.
