Used Truck Info
You can tell a lot
about a person by the used truck they
drive. Truck buyers today are demanding
both rough and tumble power and still
comfortable enough to drive every day.
Used trucks that fill this tall order
may be few and far between. But, when
it's time to purchase a used truck more
consumers are taking a hard look at the
bottom line.
More truck buyers
are opting for used trucks that offer
the ride, comfort and amenities of
upscale vehicles, while delivering the
same rugged durability and performance
those trucks traditionally provide.
If you're in the
market for a used truck, and don't mind
doing a little research to make sure
your pick is a good one, consider these
steps:
Do an online search for the
reliability of the model that interests you
If a used truck has a lousy
reputation for dependability and/or recalls, there will
be a wealth of information on forums and message boards
from people with experience with that particular model
to inform your decision.
Buy a
CARFAX report
This costs around $25,
but may save you a ton of money in the long
run. The VIN is generally stamped on a metal
plate located along the bottom of the
windshield. Write this number down and
submit it to see if this used truck has been
in any accidents, recalls, etc.
Take it to a trusted
mechanic
Make your purchase contingent upon
the results of an inspection of the used truck by a
mechanic that has no ties to the dealership. If the
dealer balks at this provision, take your business
elsewhere.
Look for a used truck that is still
under the manufacturer's warranty
Most late model, low mileage used
trucks will still be under the standard manufacturer’s
36 Month/36,000 mile warranty, with the engine and
transmission often under warranty for much longer.
Double-check to make sure that the used truck’s warranty
can be transferred to you.
Ask for the truck's maintenance
record
This step is key because if the used
truck has been cared for with timely maintenance (oil
changes, scheduled check-ups, etc.), most of that
documentation should be easily located. If this cannot
be found, take the used truck to be inspected by an
off-site mechanic whom you trust.
Look for a used truck that has a
Certified, Pre-Owned sticker
Used trucks with CPO
stickers have been rigorously tested and
have had any needed maintenance taken care
of before they appear on the lot.
