Whenever you see "price reduced" on an ad, it means they obviously started way too high, and they probably still are way too high.

Be patient, you will find a better deal. If you have to have a daily driver for now, buy anything else for $500, and sit and wait for a better truck to show up. When the better truck shows up dump the cheap daily driver.

Never pay a premium for a vehicle because the owner is touting the drivetrain. That's the one thing that's the hardest to verify. If could be a spray can rebuild on a 200,000 mile motor for all you know.
