So lets contact the seller and clear everything up. It is better done by phone, though email message is also acceptable. But you will save a lot of time by making simple phone call. Besides, the human factor in communication is very important, so pick up the phone and call him.
What should I mention during my first contact with the seller? Here is a list. But very important write down everything the seller will say to you. Later, when you think everything over to make decision, you will appreciate it later.
1. First of all represent yourself, name the reason of your call and website where you have found the trucks. Ask if the used trucks or vehicle is still available.
2. Lets assume it is not sold yet. Then ask about every word in the description to check it is really true. It is much better if you spend 2 minutes of your time now, than to come to the buyer after and find out that there is no air conditioning, though it was mentioned at the website.
3. Ask about everything that was not described minor technical problems, condition of engine, body, clutch, suspension, tyres, interior. Do not forget anything, you should have complete picture in your mind. For example, the cost of new tyres for tractor trucks is about 200$ for a wheel and a lot of people usually forget to ask about tyre condition.
4. When it comes to price, do not be shy to argue a bit. Usually people put a little higher price that would actually satisfy them. Anyway a little of bargaining never harmed anyone.
It is much better for if you choose several used trucks or vehicles and make several calls. You should not restrict yourself to a single trucks, remember the more choice you have, the better trucks you will buy.
So by this time you should have called 3-4 sellers and have 3-4 papers with complete description at your table. Now its your time relax and think everything over and make your final decision. Sometimes it is wise to call the sellers again and tell them that you have a little better offers it will surprisingly move the prices down and help you make your final decision.
Used Trucks Conclusion
Thats it, now you are ready to go and pick up your new used trucks. Just dont forget to let your eyes see everything your ears heard take the paper with the used trucks or vehicle description (that you have written down during your talk with the seller) and check everything. It is very advisable that you check the trucks or car at the local service center let professionals do their job.
And by the way, the last price is always fixed after final trucks or vehicle examination.
