Sharp truck - really nice!

I really like to clean no-badges, graphics look to the exterior. At first I thought it was black, but I really like the dark green! Enjoy this truck - for $14.5K you got a great deal. Enjoy!

Since they offer warranty on it,

Length of Term Mileage Price
12 Month Unlimited $ 795
24 Month Unlimited $1,095
36 Month Unlimited $1,395
48 Month Unlimited $1,795

Thats almost worth doing.. if it hasnt had an injection pump yet, you can bet itll have one go out withing 3 years, and thats the cost of the warranty alone!

Great lookin truck, thats my fav color right below Patriot Blue on these trucks

I went and bought the truck in Dallas, today. The guy met me with it, at the airport. Ten minutes down the road, the a/c goes out.....Stop to get fuel, and I look under it, and....sure enough it has a "53" block. Look under the other side......CRACKED BLOCK!!!! I was so ******. I took it right back to the guy, got my money, and got him to buy me a plane ticket home.

The guy acted reasonable about it. I still dont know if he knew, or not. And the truck drove great! Very nice... Very dissapointing.

Sorry to hear that. It'll be okay in the long run. I bet you'll find a better deal on a better truck..... without a 53! Hang in there.

I've heard you should never buy a truck out of Texas because they don't have Salvage Title laws like in other states. I guess you could be buying a totaled truck that has been fixed and not know until it is to late. Again, this is something I heard so I don't know if it is 100% true but you should look into this is you are buying over the internet. Eric
