What to check

1 that matter · tap to expand

Before you buy

Three things, in order. Ten minutes of work, standing at the car.

  1. 1
    Run the VIN for open recalls

    8 open — all free fixes. Confirm each is closed before you hand over money.

  2. 2
    Test-drive checklist
    • Inspect the frame rails, rear cross-member, and rear axle/suspension mounts for scale and perforation, especially on northern trucks; check the brake and fuel lines routed along them.
  3. 3
    Get a pre-purchase inspection

    An hour with a mechanic on the items above is the cheapest insurance you’ll buy.
