Going thru Craigslist to buy a vehicle - is definitely caveat emptor... i'd take a mechanic with you who knows a lot about cars /trucks and can tell you if it's a good deal or not...

A lot of dealers have certified used cars/trucks... that is - whatever you buy has a warranty with it -- so if in 3 months the transmission goes bellyup - you are covered - going thru CL - you don't have that option.

Just one question -- well one for now anyhow - why a truck? if you are a new driver, why not start with a car - something smaller and easier to manage and park...
