[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1985414, member: 21926"] These things are a bit more concerning to me. the lack of maintenance records could be an issue, and the differentials have likely been ignored. I believe that this was just a tactic to force your hand and there was never any out of state buyer. <soapbox> Never, ever buy a vehicle under any kind of pressure. Do the purchase on your time at your schedule. I personally give all the time to me going over the vehicle and once it’s time for paperwork, I set a hard timer at 75 minutes. If I’m not driving out within that time frame, I’m going home in my previous vehicle. On my first SVT in... ’97? I set the timer in front of the salesman and said “I don’t care what the sales manager or other staff have to say, you have 59 minutes to make this deal happen or I leave. That includes paperwork” My wife and I brought a game to play and we sat there playing a game while they tried the ‘my sales manager says $...’ “you guys work it out or we head home”. In fact, that day, they had someone else drive the Mustang and I responded “you should definitely sell it to them then if they’re interested, my current Mustang runs fine” then it was magically “no, no, no, we can work out a deal”. </soapbox> so... yes on the mechanic, that’s a 5.5 year loan - are you able to afford the truck and the upkeep on the truck? let the mechanic give you some guidance on that.
