is this resonable request ? I fly out Saturday to purchase a Ty and would like any input that you have to offer. Is there something I should add.

Vehicle has less than 60,000 original miles with no alterations of the odometer
No needed apparent motor or transmission repairs aka knocking, motor leaks, water or gas in oil, blowby from the turbo, slipping of transmision, intercooler issues
No body damage or signs of previous wrecks
All cladding intact and no signs of broken clips
All factory parts in working order including ABS, power windows, power locks, gauges in full working order, turn signals, blinkers, horn, headlights, no wiring issues
Interior condition is fair to good condition with no rips, tears, and sag in headliner, cracks on dash pad, and all pieces intact
Paint in fair to good condition with no surface rust or flaking of the paint typical of that era
All glass is intact in fair to good condition with no cracks in the windshield
Any documentation of modifications possibly with receipts and owner’s manual and or certificate of authenticity
Wheel is in good condition with no bent wheels or major scuff in of the rim, wheel cover key included if equipped
Exhaust is not rusted out and has any holes, it is know that there is no catalytic converter and there is a test pipe installed at this time.


Thanks for your time

Request pics, pics and more pics and if possible a video of the vehicle stationary and at speed. It is nice to get a view of the gauges while the veh is going down the street. Listen to the shifts, have the driver let go of the wheel when he applies the brakes. The more info the better. If all goes well, get a window seat.

Make sure it doesn't overboost. Stock trucks without cats have a tendency to overboost.

I did this last year; it was a good time. Flew into Minneapolis, bought the truck and drove 1300 miles back to Vermont.

also, knock isn't always audible, thus get a scan tool on it...using your ears won't work unless you are some guru tuner like Dig.
