Frequently Asked Questions: Used Trucks
What to Consider When Buying a Used Truck?
**Exterior Condition:** Inspect the body for rust, dents, scratches, and repainting (potential accident indicator).
**Interior Condition:** Check seats, dashboard, and carpeting for wear and tear.
**Mechanical Condition:** Look for leaks, unusual noises, and test drive the truck.
**Mileage:** Consider mileage, but well-maintained high-mileage trucks can be good options.
**Maintenance Records:** Ask for records to see the truck's maintenance history.
**Vehicle History:** Check the history report for accidents or major repairs.
**Towing Capacity:** Ensure the truck has the towing capacity you need (if applicable).
**Overall Value:** Compare the truck's price to its condition, features, and similar models at Terre Haute Auto.
How Many Miles Are Too Many?
There's no single answer. It depends on make, model, maintenance, and driving history. Trucks over 100,000 miles might be high-mileage, but some handle it better. Consider the overall condition, maintenance history, and intended use. Consulting a mechanic before purchase is recommended. Terre Haute Auto thoroughly inspects every used truck.
Best Used Trucks for Towing?
The best choice depends on your specific needs, but popular options include Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Ram 1500, and Toyota Tundra.

Frequently Asked Questions: Used Trucks
How much should I expect to pay for a used truck?
The price of a used truck can vary greatly depending on the make, model, year, mileage, and overall condition. Expect a range of a few thousand dollars for an older, high-mileage truck to tens of thousands of dollars for a newer, low-mileage truck.
Should I buy a used truck from a dealer or a private seller?
There are several advantages to buying a used truck from Terre Haute Auto compared to a private seller:
More Options: Our dealership offers a wider selection of used trucks, giving you more choices to find the perfect vehicle for your needs and budget.
Financing Options: We offer financing options like loans, leases, and payment plans to help you purchase the truck you want.
Vehicle History Reports: We provide vehicle history reports detailing any accidents, repairs, or other issues the truck has had. This information helps you make an informed decision.
Trade-in Options: If you have a vehicle to trade in, we can offer you a trade-in value that reduces the cost of your new truck.
Legal Protection: Buying from a dealership provides legal protection in case of issues with the sale, such as undisclosed problems with the vehicle or improper paperwork. Private sales generally lack these protections.
Is age or mileage more important when buying a used truck?
Both age and mileage are important factors to consider as they can affect the condition and reliability of the vehicle:
Age: Age can affect a truck's overall condition due to wear and tear, even with low mileage. Rubber components like belts and hoses can dry out and crack over time, and electronic components may become outdated or fail.
Mileage: The number of miles on a truck indicates how much wear and tear it has experienced. A higher-mileage truck might be more prone to mechanical issues and require more maintenance and repairs.
Ultimately, consider both age and mileage when evaluating a used truck. A newer truck with high mileage might have been used primarily for long highway trips, while an older truck with low mileage might have been driven in stop-and-go city traffic, putting more stress on the engine and transmission.
