Possibly buying another truck...a twin no less

It is almost identical to mine, 1997 regular cab flareside, except in the Lariat trim. In perfect shape, new plugs and wires. The only glitch however is the brakes. Both front and back apparently were replaced last year, yet when I took it on a test drive you felt the whole truck shake and rattle when i hit the brakes. Other than that, it's in good condition. The guy's asking 16000 but will come down on that.

What's everybody think, good or bad deal???

Hey,

Mpt a bad deal
I recently bought a 98, 4x4, 4.6, ext cab, with 48000 ish miles
paid $16900 and nothing is wrong with it at all. cept door crack on drivers side.

depends mostly on mileage as to how good of a deal it is though.


Good luck.
Stan

$13,000 would be a good deal for a reg. cab 4x4. What's the mileage?

Get it c hecked first!

Hi beast97! Try to get an Oasis report to see if the truck has continually had brake work done on it. I'd start with that. If it hasn't had an abnormal amount of brake work done, maybe whoever did the brakes just screwed up somehow!
I'm in Buffalo - where are you? Email me so I can tell you about a group photo shot of trucks that I'm hoping to get! It would be so nice to include you too! I also have a '97 so I'd love to see your tuck. My email is Cowlady18@cs.com. Can't wait to hear from you! Bye for now!
