Close Inspection
If you’re buying a diesel for the first time, they can become a money pit if not bought with caution. I’m a Ford master tech and I’ve seen the worst as well as the best, so be sure not to buy the worst by trusting someone who makes commission on you buying a truck. Take it somewhere knowledgeable about your brand and when in doubt get whatever you’re buying inspected. If you have $20,000 to spend on a truck, take it to a dealer and for $150 or so you may end up saving $19,850!
