How did I know you were going to respond to the gentle ribbing and ignore the meat of the post.

This truck is bad news - don't buy it. Ran when parked vehicles always have more wrong with them than the issue claimed to have parked them.


My father bought a $250 Ford Escape about a month ago. He is a retired mechanic and was looking for a project. It was parked because the key wouldn't turn in the ignition - the lock was stuck. He had a locksmith come out and change the lock and it cranked. Now he is about $600 and a few weekends of wrenching into the project fixing the other things. battery, seized brakes, rotted tires, new fluids, etc.
