Hello again and I appologize for all the posts with what are probably silly questions.
I'm in the process of buying a truck online. Unfortunately i just broke my leg so I can't go view the truck in person and i've never purchased a vehicle this way. I just had it inspected by a third party and all the important things were excellent/like new or better (interior, paint, body, engine, 4x4, transmission, etc). The inspector concluded that it was an excellent truck with only minor things that need to be fixed. My question is how minor are these issues and how hard are they to fix. I realize that it's impossible to know the true issue without seeing the truck but mostly I'm wondering if these are common issues.
The issues are:
No tag light, wiper motor works but isn't hooked to the wipers, horn doesn't work, door jam switches dont work (?), and a couple of the temp guages don't work. Most of these are minor but would prevent me from being able to get the car registered here in VA.
Like I said, I'm not trying to find out how to fix these items, I'm just wondering if any of them are common issues. If I do buy the truck I would have it shipped up here and then take it directly to a shop to have these these issues fixed.
Thanks again,
-Pete
