Commercial trucks - teaching you to choose the correct commercial truck
Commercial trucks
Commercial trucks will teach you to choose the right commercial trucks, and will guide you through important steps before the purchase. Always make a financial plan for parts and labor on any mechanical part, if there is no available receipt trail or other way of inspection then you have no way of inspecting what the commercial truck has been through, I wouldn't suggest buying something you know nothing about. In other words if you can't prove its condition then don't buy the truck unless you can afford to restore it, part by part. That means: hydraulic lines, AC, brakes, steering and front end parts, engine compression, transmission, electrical system from the wiring harness to the gauges, alternator and fuse panels, body, tires, and glass, air compressor buildup and recovery times, and a list of other things your mechanic would be happy to tell you that need to be repaired.
Remember rust on commercial trucks cannot be stopped. You should always take a rust problem on any vehicle seriously. Sheet metal and bondo are not permanent fixes. A small amount of rust on the body surface may be appropriate for the price. However, accepting commercial trucks with any kind of structural rust, flaking of the frame, rusting-out fenders or hood hinge mounts is certainly unacceptable.
Also when searching for commercial trucks you should request service records, original paperwork, and any repair receipts. The informative paper trail will help you expose the vehicles actual value and avoid any possible problems. And will reward you with unknown facts.
Search the paperwork and don't purchase commercial trucks with no informational background. If you can find a recent AC charge then you might want to search deeper. If you come up with more than three receipts for AC charges in the last year then there must be a problem.
You should get the advice or help from a skilled salesman, especially if your price range exceeds 15,000, getting help from a used commercial truck dealer or broker can usually save you money. See Truck Links for dealers that are reputable, experienced and smart enough to be worth every penny they may cost you in "markup". I say "may" cost you, because typically they SAVE you money. They buy the semi truck wholesale, mark them up for a fair profit, and you wont find any better prices for commercial trucks without their help.
