well i got my first truck about 5 months ago and i now find out the guy ****ed me over..it was all rusty and he slapped a coat of paint on sold it.i've only washed it about 10 times and the paints coming off in quite a few places. Two of the doors are showing surface rust and both bumpers also show surface rust.so i was wondering what you guys think i should do?keep it and fix it or get a different truck?

Lenn

What year is the truck and what model/trim package is it? Also how much did you pay for it?

mrmushroomstamp

it's a 2001 supercab xlt sport 4x4.and 6000.

Lenn

Mileage? V6/V8, ATX/MTX?

mrmushroomstamp

uhmm..i don't know what the atx/mtx means but it's 4.6 with 126,XXX.

Lenn

ATX= Auto trans.
MTX= Manual trans.

I'd say that you got the truck for a decent price but IDK how much I would sink into it. I would at least take it to a body shop to see if they can asess the rust situation. It couldn't hurt anything to have them look and then you can establish where you cut off is..

mrmushroomstamp

ohhh..gotcha.

it's an automatic.

and thanks!

Did you buy it at night?

mrmushroomstamp

no.i bought it in day.it the paint looked fine then but the more i wash it the more it gets ****ed up.

That sucks.

I agree with Lenn. Take it to a shop and see what they say.
