Odds are that if you are in the market for a used car, 1998 f150 ford pickup, SUV or truck, you will look in up to 4 category of places - these are: a used car lot; a new car dealership that has a used car lot; you will look on the Internet or in the paper for someone selling the vehicle you desire, or, you go the one of the sales lots for a national rental agency. If you are going to purchase the vehicle from a stand-along used car lot, check out their reputation for honesty and fair dealings through the Better Business Bureau.

Again reputation is an important matter, as well. Buying from a private party has both the most potential advantage and potentially the greatest downside. The advantage - no mark-up for a retailer. The disadvantage - someone could be unloading their 'lemon'. So, always, have the vehicle checked out by a reputable mechanic before buying it. We like buying a vehicle from the sales lot of a national rent-a-car agency whether it is a car, truck, SUV or 1998 f150 ford pickup. They are well maintained and generally not more than a year or two old. You don't necessarily get any 'steals' but the car should be in great mechanical shape.
