5 Summer Truck Projects For Under $5000 - Car Throttle

America: land of the free and home of the truck. And while there are more trucks in the US than people (probably), the bummer with having one is that they’re more expensive than your little daily sedan. To rock a bare-bones budget, you’ve got to do your shopping first. Stick to modest changes to make a used truck safe and reliable, so you can jazz it up later as your own budget allows. The first rule of buying a project truck is: don’t bite off more than you can chew. Don’t jump at the first thing you see in your budget. Start looking at prices online long before you’re ready to buy, so that you get an understanding of what a good deal looks like. For the examples here, we found great deals on trucks that we in good running condition with little to no body damage. Prices will vary by area, but keep your eyes peeled for a low price and low mileage. And check every inch of the truck before buying it. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard stories of a buyer’s remorse from neglecting to catch a problem during the inspection and test drive. Take a quick moment to look on recalls. If there are any recalls that have not been fixed, you can take your truck to a nearby dealer who is legally obligated to fix the problem free of charge. Source: www.carthrottle.com
