I asked to hear the motor run and he made some excuse and said to come back tomorrow for that, so at first I didnt think much about it, then came back after lunch when his employee was there and he had the VC off, man what a nasty mess! I then did a VIN check which told me about the salvage title which this dude wasnt going to tell me...so I walked but someone bought that truck and suffered for it I think...
Thanks Clyde, Its pretty sad when you cant trust anyone these days. You really have to do your own investigating. Thats my problem I tend to believe people too much and usually end up getting screwed for it...sucks but thats reality
