This is a post looking for advice.

I recently purchased an as is F150 2009, 4x4, Long box, small cab, white, 235,000km.

I got it for 4200CAD, and was under the impression it needed some work to fix the four wheel drive and brakes.

After taking it in for safety inspection I find it needs 1800CAD in repairs (parts and labour).

I expected to pay as much as maybe 800CAD for breaks and the inspection, but I really didn't think it would cost this much.

-About me, I have wanted a truck for a long time, I owned a 1994, and loved it, but sadly could not keep it. I am currently very poor, I am forced to live with my parents again, and work a job I hate, it took me months to find this truck.

Should I try and sell it? Keep it?

Now is the time for you to 'learn' to do repairs yourself. You have to be 'rich' to be able to afford to pay someone else to work on your truck. Just my opinion

Depends on what work it needs.

Most actual "safety" items can be done at home.

$1800 doesn't sound terrible actually if a shop is doing everything. Hell I would think nearly $1000-$1200 of that would be brakes (parts & labour).
