Agreed, smart advice...When looking for my last truck, I rode my motorcycle 200 miles with cash in had to buy a Tacoma that look nice in the pictures. Was gonna load up the MC and bring it home.
1st hint of rust issues were looking under the hood. I then looked underneath,, Holy Chit......Only then I learn this guy had it in Ohio when he was in the Military........Rode my motorcycle home in the rain and bought a Mazda the next week. I was 4 years newer and $2,000 less money....
