Car buying

I agree with several people on here, plus have my own thoughts.

*Forget the Fiero (for more than one reason)

*Always get a PPI (pre purchase inspection) prior to buying any used car, ever

*Sell the dually privately, as you will get the most money that way. Sell it kelly blue book or nada values.

*I don't know pick up values, but I believe that chevy and ford are the most reliable. Determine how much you want to spend and then hit consumer reports to find the most reliable truck for the money you want to spend. Then search autotrader, cars.com, etc. for the truck you want. I personally like to find private parties and not dealers. Better deals. Either way, PPI or scram.

*If you go with a dealer for purchase, do not tell them what you want to pay each month, that should have NOTHING to do with the negotiations and you should not let them see your hand. As Tony said, THEN see what price they will take your car for.

*Helping others research/find/buy new/used cars is one of my fav hobbies!
