I just looked at a used Dodge 4x4 for my son that came from up North and he did not tell me it was a Northern truck when I asked him the million questions before I drove two hours to go take a look. This was a 1999 Dodge and some minor dents and dings is all I was told. This is what I found:

1. Rusted, leaking brake lines.

2 Transmission was about to fall out from the rusted crossmember.

3. (funny one here) I crawled out from under the truck pulling myself out with the lower bedside in front of the rear wheel and it BROKE OFF in my hand!

4. The seat frame was rusted all the way thru on the driver side and passenger side.

5. The shocks were rusted with holes in them.

I was no longer interested in the truck once I saw the brake lines but I asked the guy "Did you just move here?" He replied "No, I bought it off CL about a month ago and got a smokin' deal!" I walked wondering exactly what he had been smoking at the time he purchased!??! BTW- He was asking $3500. I should have offered $350 but I didn't want to hurt his feelings..
