mechanic to check used truck out

Wise ### or not most mechanics charge $65 and up per hour if you bring it to them now you want one to go out to the truck test drive hook it to a computer and check it over for you and send you a report for a meassly $100. Now if you want a shade tree mechanic to check it cheap you gonna get what you pay for. You call down there to get a mechanic it might be the same one that dealer uses on occasions. In this business you have to spend money and do you own homework in order to make money. And the more you spend now the more you'll make later. Now you dont have to listen to me you can just do like I did but if you look over some of my post you will see that if I would have listened to the advise of these forum members instead of think i knew what i was doing I would be about $13k richer

 

Is there nothing around your local region for sale , looking for something reasonably priced is a good move , but buying something unforseen and on the word of total strangers can be quite costly.
