Left NC at 23:30 Friday night, got to the car lot right before 0900 Saturday morning.
Car lot told me 'no rust no rust no rust'. I knew BS being it was from Ohio/Pennsylvania. First thing I found was poorly bondo'd (yet fairly well painted) rear cab corners. Despite there being obvious rust issues, he wouldn't negotiate anymore. Said he had 5 people come in Friday after we paid deposit trying to buy it.
Test drive got interesting quick. Had to put some gas in it ($10) because it was 10 miles to empty and wanted to see how it behaved at highway speed. Locked the truck, went in and paid for the gas. Came out and couldn't get the truck to unlock with either fob, and neither key was wanting to unlock the door manually either. Didn't know door code yet. fought with it for about 3 or 4 minutes before it finally unlocked. Truck behaved great the entire time.
Had a little trouble getting into 4L, but was sitting on a hill while attempting to shift, so not sure whether to be worried or not with that.
Tried to talk them down for the rust and key issues. No dice. Paid them 21,500 out the door. No title in hand, would wind up taking over 3 weeks to get the title in the mail. Come to find out, title was printed 4 days after I paid them, and then signed 9 days after that. They never had the title to hand me like they claimed.
My buddy and I rolled out and went to get some breakfast before driving 9.5 hours back home
