i'm sure the truck isn't work the market value because of the physical condition

Most banks will tell you the blue book value according to mileage and condition for the year and model of your truck.

The business of automotive parts is one of the most versatile areas you can find in the market nowadays. For professional auto technicians, finding good auto parts that will suit their needs is but as simple as going to a store specializing in auto parts and finding a wide array of gizmos and gadgets. The good news about these gizmos and gadgets is that one can always find them in many varieties and price ranges. This means that if you are on a budget and would like to save on cost but still would like to get good quality automotive spare parts, you can always find the ones you need in one of those stores specializing in them. Since you can easily find a number of good automotive parts stores all over the country, it will be easier for you to compare the prices and the quality of the parts they have on their shelves.

For people who are still new to the automotive spare parts business, there are some things that you should know in order for you to get the best deals there are on the market. First, you should always bear it in mind that when you repair engines, there are spare parts that you can salvage and can still use. Of course there are some parts, which are really useless, but there are many other things that you can save for later use.

Now, the second thing that you should remember is that different road conditions will have different effects on cars. For instance, the use of salt on the roads in Detroit to enhance traction has negative effects on your car. Salt can cause corrosion on the car therefore in these areas, finding used spare parts that are still in good condition would be difficult. However, in areas like California where road conditions are rather good, finding used spare parts that are still in good condition would not be much of a problem.

Now, don’t think that finding good used auto parts is just like a walk in park because it is not. As with other businesses, buying used spare parts involves a lot of kinks and tricks. If you really want to get your hands on good, used automotive parts, you might want to pass the stores selling junk and simply go for the gold. When we say go for the gold, try to buy salvage title cars and take it apart. There are many companies selling these types of products and you can even buy these salvage cars for a fraction of their cost. These salvage cars are really a gold mine when it comes to finding great used automotive spare parts. Now that is real value for your money!

Exhaust stacks are the hottest item in the diesel performance aftermarket. Diesel exhaust stacks look great and are functional. In this Article I will attempt to address the functionality of truck exhaust stacks and the different variations of truck exhaust stacks that are available. First I will address the main companies making exhaust stack systems.

MBRP Inc. is the manufacturer of the MBRP Smokers exhaust stacks. The MBRP Smokers exhaust stacks were designed to give the aggressive Big Rig look and the classic MBRP sound. MBRP has both turbo back exhaust stacks systems and universal bed kits that go through the bed and connect onto the stock exhaust system offering the look at a reasonable price. Both the turbo back exhaust stack system and the universal “T” Pipe bed kit are made of stainless steel. The Turbo back exhaust stacks are mandrel bent and will give maximum exhaust flow, fuel mileage gain, power increase, and minimize the EGT’s. The diesel exhaust stack “T” pipe bed kits are more for looks, although there still will be a performance gain. MBRP offer 4, 5 and 6 inch exhaust stacks and have the options of a straight cut, mitre or angle cut, a curved end or turn out tip, and bull hauler stacks. These stack variations come in either 36 inch or 48 inches long. There is also an aluminum checker plate cover over the “T” pipe in the bed, it give a nice complete finished look and will keep the hot “T” pipe from touching anything.

Grand Rock truck exhaust systems make chrome exhaust stacks for trucks and big rigs. Chrome exhaust stacks are also very durable and have the mirror finish that many look for. Grand Rocks Chrome exhaust stacks come in 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 inch sizes. Grand Rock also offers their chrome universal Powerflow “T” pipe bed kit for those who are just looking for the big rig look and a small performance gain. They also offer a turbo back chrome exhaust stack system for those looking for all out performance and looks. Chrome exhaust stack systems are very durable and are a lot less expensive. Chrome exhaust stacks look great and are a great value.

Most people that buy truck exhaust stacks have them for either looks or performance gains and maximum exhaust flow. Some though have exhaust stacks for functional reasons. Imagine having a flatbed that you use to haul things day in and day out. Wouldn’t it be nice to get the exhaust up above everything you are working on so you aren’t constantly choking on exhaust fumes. In conclusion, truck exhaust stacks are functional and look great, and above all, add to performance, economy, and help keep temperatures down so that your expensive truck will last longer than you need it to.

Believe it or not, it is a skill to buy the right vehicle, at a good or better price than what a particular vehicle is sold for in the market.

Before you do anything else, apply for a bank loan to purchase a new vehicle, find out what is your maximum loan amount your bank or any lender is willing to lend you. Once you know how much your loan approval is, then you are ready to start looking for the car you want.

Decide on the vehicle you will truly be happy or at the least very satisfied with, so that the notes will not feel painful. This is very important.

Will your next vehicle be a truck, a car, a SUV? Whichever type of vehicle you prefer start comparing different makes and models and get a general idea of what they are worth in the market. One easy way to do this is by visiting the Kelly Blue Book online at: http://www.kbb.com. Here you can check what the MSRP value is (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price, is the price set by the manufacturer).

Once you have a check from your lender, that check will good as cash at the dealership. This will give you buying power. You will be able to get the best possible cash on a vehicle you really like.

As you shop around do not let car salesmen to intimidate you, remember, you have done your home work, you have research the market value for the car you want, you know a fair price down to the miles of it. Now you have a check in hand and can negotiate a cash deal. Make cash offers and see what reactions you get from salesman. Do not give any information to salesman.

Once you are down to a few dealers where you will buy your car from, go to each, or call each of them on the phone, work with the ones that have a decent sense of customer service and who are willing to work with you, and via telephone make a cash offer for one of the vehicle you are looking for. For instance, you have researched a vehicle that easily sells for $15K or $16K with less than 30K miles. Offer $12K cash and gauge each of their reactions and see what happens. It’s not for nothing that Cash still the reigning king!

I paid a bit over bluebook value for my used truck because it was in exceptionally good shape and I don't have the credit to be picky. I would like to refinance in a year, but I'm concerned that the banks won't refinance me because of the value of the truck vs. the amount of the loan. Can anyone give me some advice?

Next year when you go to try to refinance, the bank will look at the Retail Loan Value of your truck, not Blue Book. If the 'loan-to-value' is acceptable, they might approve the loan. If not, they might require a down payment. Good luck.
