It shouldn't take a professional mechanic to notice that the spring mount is broke and it has no rear brakes... my Ranger felt very strange when I broke a hanger, that whole corner of the truck felt kinda numb.
I crawl all over them when the dealer is closed before they even know I am interested, and they get put thru the paces on the test drive. If I don't like something I don't get it. I looked at a '98 F-150 that shifted weird and the brakes didn't feel right. The guy that was selling it (private party) said that is how it has always been... I told myself yeah, right and walked away.
The dealership I got my F-150 from had JUST opened for business and didn't have the years posted on their cars yet... I knew it was an '02 by the sticker on the passenger side of the frame under the bed from when the truck was built.
