CarCo Automotive jalopy wrecked pieced together Rice Minnesota

My experience with CarCo was good untill I arrived on site to find the truck I had agreed to buy was not as promised. First I noticed the missing paint on a few spots, I ended up having to repaint 1/4 of the truck. The add boasted air conditioning, guess a roof vent qualifies for a/c in MN. Also the lights wouldnt work, had to wait for a mechanic to fix. I was aware this truck had the motor and tranny replaced, and I have no complaints about them.

The biggest issue I have with the truck, and was not made aware before I agreed to buy it, was how many different parts from other trucks this (JALOPY) was put together with. The steering has been an ongoing issue, so I took it to the best mechanic I know to see if it could be fixed, here is a portion of his description; 

"Initial inspection found left steer tire hitting the drag link, and the grease zirk gouged the inside wall of the tire. Found steering column lower bearing had fallenout of the column tube. Sway bar bushings have completely wore out, steering gear sector shaft needs adjusted. The truck looks like it has been in an ACCIDENT. The left side steer axle front spring eye mounting bracket is bent back approx 1 inch, causing truck to steer left. Also rear axle U-bolts loose allowed axle to shift back a 1/2 inch on the left. Also the rear spring shackles hit the mounting bracket causing the brackets to crack. looks like the mounting brackets were mounted incorrectly, or the incorrect parts were used. The repair will be labor intensive to get this truck safe to drive, sorry Nick."

I have let Jeff (the owner) know about several issues i've had with this truck since purchase , but have not received a responce.

My advice to anyone looking for a deal at CarcCo is RUN AWAY, any money you think your saving will quickly disappear in repair bills.
