Tips for Buying a Used Pickup Truck

from Lynch Mukwonago

You have decided you want or need a pickup truck; now what? This question can become overwhelming quickly with the seemingly endless combinations of trim choices, bed sizes, engine options, and exterior and interior color palettes. When you start truck shopping, it is essential to remember what you will be using the truck for; otherwise, you could end up buying way more machines than you'll use and spend way more than you need to. It is always best to be honest about what you intend to use the truck for. However, there has never been a better time to be a truck owner! With all the different choices today, there is certainly a truck for everyone. Here's a guide to help you get the most for your truck dollar.

Make a list of your trucking requirements.

The first step is to sit down and make a list of requirements that you "must have" in your truck. For example, if you will be towing with it, ensuring the truck can tow the amount you need is a "must." But remember, more is not always best. For example, if your boat only weighs 3,500 lbs, you do not need to get a truck with a towing capacity of 15,000 lbs. You will just be paying more money and spending more on fuel. Once you have your list of "must-haves," make a list of features you prefer. These are items that could help you decide later between two similar trucks.

Keep your budget at a level you feel comfortable with.

Now that you have your list of trucking requirements, it is an excellent time to set a budget. If you are financing the truck, look at how much you can afford each month and how much you have for a down payment. If you will be paying cash, you must figure out how much that number is. You never want to get into a payment that you cannot afford. 

Where can I research used trucks to buy?

You have your list of requirements and your budget. Now, it's time to do your research. There are a few different websites to help you with this step; Edmonds.com, Kelly Blue Book, and NADA.com are all great choices for your research. Keep in mind that once you have done some research, you may have to go back and edit your requirement list, as there could be features that will blow your budget. This is why it is a good idea to organize the list into 'Needs" and "Wants" so that if you do have to cut back on items, you can cut out the "wants" side. 

Can I get an insurance quote before I purchase a vehicle?

You have done your research and have a truck in mind that you are interested in. Now is the perfect time to call your insurance company and get a quote on how much the new truck will cost to be sure you can afford that payment. You can also contact your registration office to determine how much it will cost to register the truck. The fewer surprises, the better.
