    Do more test drives! Also, if the substance of a vehicle is well enough, it may well be worth the buy anyways, but only if the price is right. I bought a vehicle from 1999 for 600 bucks, it needed some repairs from a colision, and subsequently a new clutch, and then the transmission died on me. So I basically put in about 2 grand into it - but it has only 78,000km on the clock (that may be false, but the body doesn't show!), the body is practically as rust-free as a new vehicle, and all the suspension parts are tight like new. That and a reliable 8-valve engine which will make 200,000 miles - not km! (instead of the newer 16-valve that has only problems, and they're still building it in some variety until today) made the deal for me. Plus the fact that I fix the computer problems that my car repair shop may have, do their backups and stuff...
    And if someone crashes into me: I get a real good value out of it, because for anything they can see, it's got less than 100,00km (even though the instrument cluster has probably been replaced and started to count from 0 again). Now I need a door lock. The manufacturer asks 240€ for it, but as soon as I get the part number, I'll buy a used one and be happy about it. Or if not, I'll miss the keyfob and lock/unlock on the passenger side, so there's a workaround. Still, it makes it possible to drive a car, even if you don't have thousands to spend at a time!!!

    Nothing wrong with the 5.7 hemi, and not as bad on Fuel as you would think, depending on the year. I had a 2012 Ram Sport Crew, with the 5.7, drop to 4 cyls on the hwy, and id easily get 11 l/per 100kms on the hwy. Terrible mileage in town but that POS 3.7 wouldn't be much better. Keep in mind, you've got an NA V6 pushing a heavy pick up truck. Put the 5.0 in the same truck, mileage would be pretty much the same, except more power when you need it. Trucks aren't light. Anyway, I had the 2012 Ram, I've had a 2009 Sierra with the 4.8, and then had a 2014 F150 XTR Crew 4x4. Best one by far for fuel mileage was the Dodge, and it hauled my 31 foot camper like nothing was behind it. I kick myself in the ass every day for trading in that truck.

      @TheRealGOTdurrrred 9 місяців тому +2

      ​@@jeffisaliarI agree. And the gas milage is actually pretty good. 20mpg on average. They also seem to last forever. I've heard of countless 3.7s that made it over 400k. I haven't heard of a 5.0 doing that. The 3.5 EB I've heard of them going over 600k but I can't imagine how many turbos they went through to make it that long

      I like my 3.7 but my truck was very well maintained and owned by a fleet company that drove it occasionally, sounds like yours wasn’t taken care of and missed a oil change or 2, although I eventually want the 5.0, it’s really not that much faster, it’s just heavier

    *down here (where there is no rust) that truck goes for the low end of $16k with all those options 2013, Ford F150 SXT single disk cd player with MP3 capability, AC, 4WD, running boards, dual air bags, in fair condition. not sure what that thing would cost up there, can't help thinking depending on where you were looking that it might be kinda high. $20,000.00 WTF? AWWW HELL NAW! shit come down here and buy one. you come out cheaper and get more truck for your buck that way. your dad will regret that Ford swap. Montana is a P.O.S. They were from the start, was going to say try buying the impala from your dad but that was awesome of him to give it to your bro like that. I'm surprised you expected any more our of a 4 year old Ford than what you saw. That dodge you were talking about should get around 14-18 MPG highway plus it wold probably double the miles that you get out of that Ford and i'm not big on anything Dodge but the cummins turbo diesels so it takes a lot for me to say that. take it for what it's worth to you*
    Chevy or Dodge and you'll be much happier for much longer remember i said that too BTW down here with an estimated 150,000 miles on it and no rust your car is only worth $2,300.00

      V8 could mean the difference of making it up a hill or not making it up a hill in snow and ice without blowing up the motor though. torque and power are what helps you muscle through the rough stuff not gas saving and low power. but then how often are you really going to go anywhere that you would need to climb steep hills in the snow and ice though. answer that and you have your answer as to if the 6 or 8 is the real way to go.

    • @daniellockwood291
      @daniellockwood291 7 років тому

      I understand but the 5.0 gets good gas milage as long as you are easy on the pedal very close to the 6 cylinder, plus the 5.0 is more reliable, has more power, and gets much less stress put on it when you do different things so it should last longer. remember the 5.0 is fords pride and joy alongside with the EcoBoost

    • @DaddytechEnt
      @DaddytechEnt 7 років тому

      all of them get good gas mileage if you stay out of the pedal, goes without saying. if you aren't rugging it every time you take off from a light or stop sign then the gas may last a little longer for you. :o)

      if you want newish with out the new price 2 years old or older is where to start looking. i went with the 06 i did ONLY because it has the 6.0 litre in it and it's AWD, 4 door and the price was right on it. the fact that it's a Cadillac Escalade EXT matters very little to me at all. I'd have been just as happy in an Avalanche or a regular 4 door pickup with the same kind of pulling power. and for having as big of a motor as it does i still get 16 - 18 MPG highway in it which is better than the tahoe i've been driving the last 10 years. thinking of doing a cummins swap into it now actually :o)

    I'd stay away from new Fords, their ecoboob 4 bangers of the 2013-now have a recall on the block, and their trucks have a recall on the transmission. Don't be afraid to beat the shit out of the cars on the test drive, you might notice something at higher speeds...Also, don't let them sell you on an extended warranty, they're not worth it. I'm an OMVIC licensed dealer and I know guys like to sell people on them when they don't really cover anything as they get a cut of it.
    On the other hand, the older Fords aren't too bad. family member just bought an 07 Ranger, 4x4 5 speed. Its a pretty nice truck really.

All because the old folks were just incompetent with there finances. Most people don't want to admit that their parents are their biggest barrier to them to move ahead. So Adam and anyone who moved away from their parents, consider yourselves fortunate. FYI to any girl looking for a guy to marry, his parents are her biggest enemy.

      @@Turfcat150 Trans was slipping in the 2014 3.5 Eco-Boost and that was the little truck it never towed, the 2014 5.0L needed a water pump at only 70k the other 2014 5.0L has electrical issues that Ford can't even figure out and the newest truck the 2015 3.5 Eco-Boost had to have the turbo replaced along with some other shit and it has just over 100k on it, our only non Ford the 2013 Ram 2500 Cummins never had and major problems except wearing out brakes but it also tows a skid steer, bobcat, mini backhoe and a huge dump trailer.

    If you need a truck, buy a reliable Toyota. Ford will drain your bank account with repairs. It already appears to be a junker.

      I bought a 1999 Corolla new. Put 170k miles on it, Only repair was a starter solenoid ($9) Gave it away in 2014. It now has 215k miles. No repairs. I bought a Tacoma stick in 2000. It has 80k on it. I replaced the vital stuff like brake lines and calipers, plus a total of $1100 new parts. It gets 28 MPG on fuel. It will be good until at least 2032 when I'll be 101 years old. Now have a 2014 Corolla SE that has almost 30k on it. It gets nasty looks because it's fire engine red. Gets 36.7 MPG on fuel. We seldom have snow here, on the west coast USA, so vehicles don't rust much.

    sounds like a lazy car dealership to me. What dealership would let somebody take a vehicle for a test drive then tell them all the things they will do to it if the person buys it? they should have detailed it and gone over it completely mechanically before even letting anybody see it. I think you would be better off avoiding that place all together because I guarantee you will have lazy customer service as well

      Dodge or GM would be the smarter choice. less to worry about falling apart and less costly to fix when they do.

    what a piece of junk. that stealership clearly did no prep or safery checks before advertising. You're in no rush so test drive lots. Miss the bids, is it 1 a week from now on?
