With only 46,000 miles, this is about a half of the price that it should be.

What do you guys think?

I don't care what the price is,if I can't inspect it personally and deal directly face to face,I wouldn't buy it.

Same here, I will drive and inspect any vehicle before I buy it.

#4 kinda happened today. I drove like 40mins to go and see another. As soon as we pulled up to it I knew something was wrong with it, and with closer inspection I found even more with it.

1. Crunched quarter panel, about 3/4in of bondo trying to hide it, and the wrong shade of paint was used on it

2. Bent frame rails, the spacing on the hood to the bumper was about an inch off.

3. Bent tailgate, looked sorta like a silver potato chip.

4. Without even going inside the cab, I noticed that it looked like someone threw up all over the carpet.

and he still wanted 10 grand for it. I didn't even bothering to talk to him about it.

been buying cars for 45 years. never, ever,ever,ever,ever buy a car that is out side your county. cause if something goes wrong you can't do any thing about it.
