Cheap Trucks for Sale Under $5,000 Near Me in National City, CA - Autotrader

A cheap <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/used-truck-buying-guide" target="_blank">used truck</a> can serve the dual duties of hauling your construction or home improvement supplies and can get you from point A to point B at an affordable price. If you’re on a tight budget and can only afford a truck for $5,000 or less, you’ll want to keep in mind the following: A $5,000 or less used truck in running condition will most likely have between 175,000 and 275,000 miles (possibly more), could be between 15-25 years old, will have many interior and exterior cosmetic issues, and some may even have body damage or have been in an <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/should-you-buy-a-car-thats-been-in-an-accident" target="_blank">accident</a> although are still in running condition. Most trucks asking $5k or less will probably have at least two of these characteristics and it’ll be up to you to decide which of these you’re willing to live with. It is possible to find a 20-25-year-old truck with less than 100,000 miles for less than $5k but you may need to pay the full asking price or it will be at the top end of this price range. Some of these trucks in this price range may even have a <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/rebuilt-title-vs-salvage-title-whats-difference-281474979846034" target="_blank">salvage or rebuilt title</a>. We've even found some trucks that have been <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/should-you-buy-back-your-totaled-car" target="_blank">totaled</a>.

Lastly, we’ve found that you may have leverage in your <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/car-negotiations-guide" target="_blank">negotiations</a> if you pay in <a href="https://www.autotrader.com/car-shopping/buying-a-car-should-you-pay-with-cash-if-you-can-227481" target="_blank">all cash</a>.
