What a Rip-Off

Buyer beware.

Agreed. Too many guys jump head-first into bad deals without doing any homework. When I see this, I can't feel sorry for the buyer. There are thousands of our trucks out there for sale at any given time, and the range of condition goes from junk to outstanding. There is tons of information available on-line for the buyer to research, yet I rarely see guys ever use this resource when they go to buy a truck. Many people go off of emotion and impulse, and that's when you can get yourself in a heap of trouble.

Sad to say, there will be somebody out there who fall in love with that truck and buy it. If you really do your homework and look around, you can get a much better truck than that one for $3500.
