Default Gettin a Truck part 2!!

So I drove the 06 Night Runner http://www.finishlineford.net/used-i...eHistory=true# and I'm gonna pick it up on friday. Couldn't get the dealer to budge or give me nerf bars from another truck. O well I feel like its a pretty good deal. I want to know if there is a good way to test the 4wd to make sure it works correctly before i drive it off the lot. Anything else I should make sure of before I seal the deal? The warranty is almost up on it, does the manufacturer offer an extended warranty that I can get in with the financing?

That is a nice looking truck. Are you paying the price listed in the ad?

They said that was factored in to the price. The same truck 2 hours away in the opposite direction with only a 1000 miles less is listed at 22,995. So ill take some scratches and some swirl marks for 5.4k less and just go get it professionally detailed for a couple hundos.

by the way if you want to test the 4x4 engage it and try to turn the front wheels at low speed you'll feel it grab and know if it's working....if that doesn't help, go find some muddy sh^t and plow through it!

Interior is in good shape just needs some cleaning. Hopefully the dealership will have it detailed before I pick it up. Its got the center console which I was hoping for. Doesn't have a rear power sliding window which sux. Anyone got some good ideas for some color wax to cover up some of the nics and scratches? I'll give that a try sweet, thanx!

I just tried the scratch-X 2.0 on my GF's car and it worked awesome. But just remember you gotta use it "Passionately" ha ha. I found out when Meguiers say to use their product "Passionately" they mean rub the ---- out of it.
