If you have limited funds (ie can't afford several major repairs), then I would pass on it. Very often those stolen trucks are abused.

Check with your local dealer first. I don't know for sure, but I think at some point I read someone say that the dealer could or may deny warranty on a salvaged titled vehicle. Check that first. If you got any problems this could be an expensive one without warranty.

Good Luck
