Doing a search on Google for the term, used truck and your zip code, will net you all your local dealers and some classified ads you can follow up on. Searching for the same term, but add the closest major city you are located near and the word; forum or message board will give you an extended reach in your search. Give bing a whirl with same search parameters you never know, they may have a better way of find your future truck.

One of the largest online hot spots to purchase a used truck is of course Ebay Motors, they have one of the most prolific inventory listings you will ever come across. The next is Craigslist, which just like on Ebay can be narrowed down to your location or region. Motortrend has very substantial network of used vehicles on their website as well. Ford-Trucks has a forum or message board with a classified listing for their brand of trucks.

If you want to stick to local deals, the first place you should look is at your local banks and finance companies. After experiencing this economy downturn that we have all had to face, many construction and landscaping companies have to let some of their trucks go back to the original finance company and these people will most likely be ready to cut some wholesale deals to get these trucks off their books. Check with local custom truck shops they will have a network of clients they will know about and quite possibly get you best deal if the truck owner is in a financial pinch at the moment. Plus, buying from a truck enthusiast you can almost be guaranteed that the truck will be in perfect condition and well maintained in the past.

Local private and police auctions can bring in a great used truck for very little money Auto dealers are trying to unload trucks right now for two reasons. The first being, they are not selling well and the second reason being they are mostly gasoline hogs and people will be shying away from them for now. The police auctions are a little trickier and its a little bit of a gamble, because you really do not know how these vehicles were treated or how they were modified for the illegal activities they were being used for in the past.

Your best local source may also be the manager of the automotive store that you frequent. He talks to people all day long and hears about items and vehicles that are for sale in your area. Plus, he will know how well the truck owner has taken care of his truck by what he has been purchasing.
