hershy314 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 Kind of a strange question, specially since I don't know for a fact I've won my case. But I'm looking for a truck. Something full size and ext. cab. Problem is that the ones I've found have around 175k to over 200k miles on them. These are trucks as new as 2004. I know in years past you wanted to stay away from most vehicles with that many miles if buying used. Is that still true today? Does anybody know. In my area $7500 doesn't get you very far in the truck market. And yes the audio will be upgraded. Don't know how yet, but not leaving it stock. Like I said before I don't know I won my case for sure yet, but I have a really good feeling. Sad part is I wont see anything til probably October, if not November. Still fun to think about it and see what I can do in the mean time. http://athphotography.deviantart.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/hershy314
Skullz Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 Any possibility to get a personal loan for 5k to increase your total for a truck? With a higher budget, it will open more options for you. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
hershy314 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Posted July 3, 2017 I kind of doubt it, I don't know. Never tried to get a loan, since a lot of places would want some kind of collateral, which I don't have. My back pay should be around $14k, but I don't want to spend that much on one thing. http://athphotography.deviantart.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/hershy314
Soundfreezer79 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 I bought a used Silverado truck with 200k miles on it to be a hunting rig. I put Royal Purple in it and that V8 purrs like a kitten. I can sneak up on people in parking lots. Synthetic oil is the friend of high mileage vehicles. Watch out for 99-06 Chevy's. High mileage Chevy's from this era exhibit pump rub in the transfer case.
hershy314 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Posted July 3, 2017 I've heard that synthetic oil was a friend to high mileage vehicles. I'm leaning more towards a 2wd truck, but if a 4wd is all I can find then so be it. I'll just stay away from the 99-06 chevy's if I can't find a 2wd one. http://athphotography.deviantart.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/hershy314

hershy314 Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Posted July 3, 2017 Ford would be my first choice. Had one with the 300ci inline 6. Those are real good engines. http://athphotography.deviantart.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/hershy314
