I am looking at 99 f150 dual cab 4x4 w 6.5 bed and cap 166000 miles. It will be more of a farm truck but would take on hunting trips. Wants 2200 need brakes. Sounds bad when drive it but rotors don't look too bad yet. I have a camper that weighs 10500 so this won't pull it but like price. I want to get lighter camper but wife likes it to live in one week a year at county fair.
Question is thoughts on that vintage of truck and salvage title. Never bought vehicle with one. Story is guy neighbor got it from ran a salvage yard and he had it for a few years and then sold it to neighbor who has had it a few years and doesn't need it and doesn't want to put money in it for brakes. Engine light is on but he says always on cause salvage guy fixed up but never hooked a non essential vacuum line back up. His wife also ran up on rock and then decided to just go over and put big dent front driver door. She also hit rock with van. I said get rid of rock. Thanks for your thoughts.
