Did you read the advertisement for it?
No where does it say they rebuilt the motor, transmission, or axles.
No where does it say new brakes
The *only* thing the advertisement mentions is the cosmetics.
I have seen a lot of trucks and cars for sale, most have been proud to tell you what they did on every component. They also tend to show the underside, so you can see the work done there.
Without that, it is a pretty truck. All they mention and all you can see is that it has been cleaned and repainted. So it is a "quick" cosmetic fix.
Likely done in their shop, as a "quick flip".
Yes, it is a pretty truck. But for the money, I bet you can get one painted all purdy for about the same.
And since they don't seem to know anything about the truck (rare engine... uh, that is the default factory engine) it is fair to question whether they actually did anything beyond the visual.
I don't have to own one to see what is wrong with one.
I can't figure out the paint job though. It is *easier* to break the paint at the weatherstrip. The paint job they did suggests the truck was assembled and sprayed at once... which is not a "professional" method.
<quick edit>
looking at the pictures again, I would bet it was a "close doors and hood and shoot it" since it doesn't appear to be a sharp edge where the interior and exterior paints meet. So not a professional paint job...
