used truck in cali-help?
#1
I found this truck as I was rumbling through the pages of auto trader, and since it is 1100 miles from my house, I was curious to see if anyone was near this area or if someone had a trial issue of the free used car check, since I am not willing to pay for the 30 bucks.
It looks really nice, but of course I cant see much from the picture besides how shiny the paint is. It says it has 33k miles and they are asking 3900. It does say its one owner and 'believe or not it looks new' line is kinda confusing. Anyhow, if someone could maybe help me out on this I would truely appreiciate it.

that is a nice truck is it 30k on the original engine?
not to be a party pooper....but a friend of mine once bought a 10 year old truck with about 30k original miles and thought it was a great buy but ended up dropping lots of money on fixing it because low miles on older vehicles are not always good.
Many parts do suffer more sometimes for lack of use from what I have heard. Just my .02 I am not mechanic though
But I guess lack of use is better than abuse.

The ad sounds fishy to me. It says 30K miles on engine not 30K "original" miles.
Also, I believe the last year for the 22R carb'ed motor was back in '90.
