A good way to start shopping for a used truck is to analyze your wants and needs. Do you want a compact truck or a full sized truck? This will depend on how you plan to use it, be it work or pleasure. Engine size may be a major factor in this decision. Compact trucks come with either 4 or 6 cylinder engines, while full sized trucks can come with V6, V8, V10 or diesel engines.
Most of the trucks on the market are available with either a manual or automatic transmission and a choice of 2 or 4 wheel drive. There are also several cab styles. These include a standard cab, an extended cab and a crew cab.
When buying a used truck it may be a good idea to get a check of the vehicle’s history and a professional examination by a qualified mechanic or body repair technician. Services available on the Internet will check official records for a modest fee and generate a report that includes such information as a particular trucks prior accident history or prior odometer mileage readings.
Similar to buying a used car, there are two payment choices when buying a used truck: payment in full or financing. If you decide to finance, make sure you understand the following aspects of the loan agreement before you sign any documents:
The exact price you're paying for the vehicle
The amount you're financing
The finance charge (the dollar amount the credit will cost you)
The APR (a measure of the cost of credit, expressed as a yearly rate)
The number and amount of payments
The total sales price (the sum of the monthly payments plus the down payment)
Finally be aware of warranties, if any, that are available. These can help reduce the cost of maintaining your used truck for as long as you own it.
