Also something always seems to wear out faster on a salvage title vehicle. If it has a clean title though, GO for it because that is a steal. If so, he might just have money problems or might just have a lot of money and wants to get rid of it!!!

As long as you are smart about it, run the vin, take it for a good test drive, take it to a shop and have them look it over, check everything, I would say jump all over it

With a wholesale price of 12,000+ and retail price of 16,000+ the advertisement was a come on or a scam. Dealers know the values and would not sell something advertised as this good for so little.

Well the owner called me back but I was in school and could not answer. The message said that the truck has a rebuilt title due to a humidity flood. Does anyone know what that is? The person said that there was an electrical problem and everything was fixed and there was never any water in the cab or anything like that. She also said that it runs and drives great. Now what do you guys think? By no means do I want a truck that was under water and is crap but if it was just a small issue that was fixed correctly and is no problem today I think it will a good way to get the price even lower. I plan on calling her back tomorrow morning to get some more information.

Humidity flood? That term does not seem to exist on Google. Again, I wouldn't mess with it.
