Re: Out Of State Vehicle Purchase
As far as the actual post goes, I have done the mechanic thing with a motorcycle and it worked great. Look for one on google with a minimum of 100 reviews and 4 stars or better. Then just call them and discuss it. As they get paid up front, they have no reason to give a positive report on a car that would be a headache for them if you got it and found that they lied. Find a (locally) reputable mechanic and you're set.

Re: Out Of State Vehicle Purchase
The computer chip excuse was just that - an excuse.
The reality is inflation. If everyone is driving around working cars purchased for about 30k at $560 a month and approximately 5%~7% interest, why would they trade in a good car to buy a slightly newer one that will be 48k, 800 a month and minimum 9% interest (even with good credit)?
The market is going to be like this for a WHILE. And it is not just with trucks. Inflation causes further product utilization from the established norm, then larger bulk purchases when finally time to resupply. That is consistent across all products as a trend.
