Semi truck - guiding you in the direction of a good deal on a semi truck | |||||||

Remember to search the paperwork and don't purchase a semi truck with no informational background. Finding a receipt for an AC charge might be good, if it's recent. If you come more than three receipts for AC charges in the last year then there must be a problem. |
You should always prepare 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 can always trust the man trying
to sell you his old semi truck, I wouldn't suggest it though. 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.
When searching for a semi truck remember rust on a semi truck cannot be stopped. You should always take a rust problem on any vehicle seriously. If you think sheet metal or bondo are permanent fixes, think again. A small amount of rust on the body surface may be appropriate for the price. However, accepting semi trucks with any kind of structural rust, flaking of the frame, rusting-out fenders or hood hinge mounts is certainly unacceptable.
Never hesitate to get the advice or help from a professional salesman, especially if your price range exceeds 15,000, getting help from a used semi 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 better prices for a semi truck on your own.
