Walk away. Its hard telling whats been done to that truck.

if you are adamant on getting the truck and you feel comfortable carrying cash make an offer that you can flash some cash for. a lot of the time i have notice that people will take less money if the see the cash in front of them. i do however agree with bubba you have no idea what has been done to the truck. so i would definitely be cautious

basic rule for buying a used is car is very simple: IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS, WALK AWAY.

nobody sells good cars. good cars are keepers, as they are rare to come across. and sellers are tellers.

Gotta agree with everyone else, if you have questions you have doubts. When in doubt go with your gut, mine says walk away.It sounds like he's trying to unload it.
