Used trucks for sale in Raleigh, NC under $3,000

I've purchased a number of cars from George at East Coast Auto Source over the years. I would recommend the following if you're looking at buying a salvage/repairable vehicle: 1) Choose your Auto Body mechanic FIRST prior to going to purchase a vehicle that is salvage/repairable and pay him for his time even if you DON"T BUY. Paying him $100.00 for his time might save you thousands of dollars in the long run. Take him with you to look at the vehicle you are interest in. A mechanic can identify hidden damage and cost that you as a buyer can not identify. 2) Get an estimate on parts from George (or any other salvage yard) as this is added cost to what you are actually paying for the vehicle. 3) Get a time frame on repairs from your mechanic: example: is his shop out 3 months on repairs? six months on repairs? 4) Add the cost of the vehicle, parts, repairs and time to fix and compare this amount of money and time to the same model vehicle that a dealership or private owner has for sale and analyze if the repair of the salvage vehicle is worth it....sometimes it is: sometimes it's not. I've never had any trouble getting titles, bill of sale, or vehicles shipped upon purchase, etc from George. As indicated, have some knowledge of salvage repairable vehicles and get estimates up front and your repair experience will be much better.

I love my truck, I have had it 3 years now and it has never let me down, the IDI diesel it though and reliable.

Dealt with East Coast for many years. Never had a bad experience . I bought 2 Jeep Cherokees and I enjoy working on them. Parts are also very reasonable.

I love my Jeep Liberty. It’s so similar to the trailblazer I owned and loved. It’s in mint condition and so far has been a great running car.

I see where a lot of people are commenting on the dealership not getting back in touch with you. I have to say that's a completely different experience that I had. I sent them a message about 3 in the morning. Before 11:00 a.m. that same day they had already reached out with a phone call and an email. The car that I was inquiring about why is that one of the brands largest motor in it so I wasn't interested in buying it after talking to that. The person I spoke with was very polite understood what I was looking for. He even asked if they come across something like that but with the engine that I want would I like a call back. I told them absolutely who knows it could be a month from now and I still have it found what I'm looking for. I just thought that was pretty nice of them. Also I don't know anybody at this dealership none of my family or friends work there. I know sometimes people think if you write a nice reply where there is mostly negative that it's the dealership having friends and family post these comments. That absolutely is not me. I just believe if I'm quick enough to leave a negative review I should be just as quick as to leave a positive review. They are listening I can say is what I believe might be happening is that people might not be leaving their phone number. I honestly don't know if that is it or not.

runs great on the highway, loves road trip. Disable I can no longer drive a manual without pain hate to part with her. she was my road dog.

Bought our teens first car. Theo and his staff made it a very easy process and the staff was helpful. it's not easy finding a car for less than 5K in this market and we did it at Woodbridge Public Auto Auction

I have a 2002 super duty lariat with the 7.3 and I won’t trade or sell it for anything. Done some performance upgrades and makes it fun to drive.

great experience dede will get you right he will work with whatever you got and try his hardest to get it done appreciate him stay a lil later after they closed 10/10

Now I am going to start this out by saying I am not a Ford guy. My family always used Honda because of there unmatched reliability, so I had grown fond of Honda. But I got my first sport trac when I was 16, and anybody who was a teenager and had a vehicle would know you would have some fun with it. When I tell you I stress tested the Sport Trac, I really did. Everything from offroading, had pulled upto 3,000 lbs worth of scrap metal a few times(dont do that tho, was very dangerous, bent bumper ball), and general use and abuse of the vehicle. And at no point did I ever have a real complaint. Its engine had never given me a single issue, and I got it already with about 178k miles. Biggest issue with it was rust, but the engine is a BEAST. Its poor gas mileage makes up for the fact that its engine, in my opinion, is one of THEE best Ford had made in awhile. It was designed in like the 60s and it showed. The truck overall is really comfortable to drive in. Its GREAT in bad weather if you have 4WD or weight in the bed, legit have pulled out Jeeps and other supposed "Off-Roading" Vehicles when mud or snow hindered them, it is honestly a vehicle I'd feel safe driving through a Hurricane with. Its reliability is truly unmatched. I have heard other say its ok, and it may just be a flip of a coin or that half were made in one factory and the other in another factory, but I am on my second Sport Trac, only because my previous one had too much rust to pass. The only reason I hold its reliability to such high regard is because I beat the snot out of my little sport trac and it always got back up without an issue. From scrapping metal with it to just being a teenager and taking it offroading where it certainly shouldnt be able to go. I could go on about how much I love this truck, I may be biased due to it being my first car, but I wouldn't hold it in such high regard if it didnt get me through every snowstorm, mud ditch, big stream, and hot summer day hauling metal, all without any issue or hesitation. I couldn't recommend any other first car than the sport trac. Because it will keep you or your kid safe, both when they are using it normally, as well as when they be teenagers with it. My only issue with it was the fact it had a bumper ball, and that its bed was a bit short for hauling metal. But it makes you a master packer with ratchet straps. 10/10, would recommend it, especially as a first car.

Thank you Johnny Lee for helping me find the perfect car! Johnny is not only knowledgeable but professional, honest & answered all of my questions. I would recommend Johnny to anyone in the market for a used car.

This is a great truck! love the look and ride. Dependable. Not bad on gas for a 4X4. The color is very nice. I dont see many blue ones.

Had a wonderful buying experience here and I'm loving my new car!

This truck is, by far, the second hestvtruck I've owned. The first being a 2002 GMC Sierra. It looks good, rides like a "Cadillac", good gas mileage, work horse, although all it has to do is carry me around as my daily driver. I've done nothing but put tires on it, and wipers, oil changes religiously, and that's it so far.

Great experience and excellent cars for the price and very dependable would recommend coming here for your first time buying a used or new vehicle

I've bought three cars from them and sent friends to buy cars from them. We've had good luck with the cars and they are pretty honest with any known issues.

My 2003 Ford f150 XL standard cab, just passed its 100,000 mile mark. Never have I had a vehicle that has never given me any - I repeat - never, trouble. I've performed the necessary maintenance tasks ; oil,tires radiator flushes, brake and tranny fluid replaces and any other needs that come from wear & tear. I love this truck ! I have replaced my wife' s car three x's. Mine is still road worthy and passes emissions every year ! Whether long distances or around town, my truck has not failed me yet. From one spark plugs to air filters, bulbs and tires I know that I have saved a lot of money rather than buy another vehicle. They' re ( MFG'S ) not building them like this any more. Kudos Dearborn. Well done UAW l

the truck is a workhorse, it has been used for hauling a camper to hauling a load of firewood while pulling a trailer loaded with firewood. despite having 31/10.50/15 tires (tire chains don't fit) it doesn't get stuck much in the snow/mud out in the woods while gathering the firewood. it has been abused but still runs with over 250,000 miles.

Got a truck from them bought running boards for the pickup but couldn’t put them on cuz running boards were rotted so called Tim’s an they said bring the truck down an fixed the issue thank you

I bought my 2004 Dakota Club Cab SLT 4.7 Automatic in 2008 from a Dodge dealership used car lot. I love this truck. I've always owned mini/mid sized trucks. Datsun,Nissan,Ford Ranger, and this Dakota is the best. The comfort, drivabilty is superior. The rack and pinion steering, 4 wheel disc brakes,limited slip differential, 3.92 gears all contribute to the driving experience. I didn't know this until a few years after owning, but these trucks are classified as 3/4 ton. They have the highest towing capacity 6440 lbs. They have separate trailer circuitry independent from truck lighting. It's own trailer light fuses. The only extended cab with forward faceing rear seats with shoulder restraints. I have about 150,000 it's now 1/7/2023.

The staff was very friendly and willing to stay late to allow us time to purchase a truck. We knew which one we wanted but my husband's work schedule didn't allow us to be there to purchase the vehicle during their "open" hours. Ed and the office staff stayed late for us. They helped us through the process very quickly! We were in and out in 40 minutes! And they were willing to work with us on the price. Best car buying experience we have had...EVER!

Chevy Silverado 1500 LS pickup truck is very reliable. Second-row seats are spacious. The extended cab is Great and the cap makes it even more functional

I had my 96 until I was T-Boned at a stop light while visiting Spokane. The air bags actually deployed in spite of the vehicle being over 24 years old. I was amazed and it probably saved me from broken bones or a skull fracture. I was sad to see this vehicle go because it was totaled and there is nothing out there that even compares to the great years of service. The model I had included a 3.3L v6 and Posi traction drivetrain with the full towing package. I hauled heavy items across the cascades several times without an issue.

The best salesman in Muskogee works here! Jimmy Hamm was a pleasure to work with and one of the most easy going salesmen to work with I've ever had the experience to buy from. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a vehicle to take a drive and see Jimmy! Tell him "logger Jr" sent ya!!

Has been the most dependable truck I’ve ever owned I would buy another truck again and pulls anything You want with ease. Very smooth ride

I bought a Honda Civic Hybrid a few weeks ago . It needed a little work nothing major. It's to be expected buying a used car. It's running grate I just love it. Thank you Richard and staff.

I love the 2004 Silverado crew cab shortbed. I also have a 2001 GMC CREW CAB BUT WITH THE 6.0 liter engine. Have NO PROBLEMS. With it. The 2004 Chevy & the 2001 GMC BOTH HAVE ARIUND 125,009 miles on them Mostly Freeway between AZ. & Ca. The 6.0 engine & Trans DRIVES Totally different than the 5.3 both are Automatic with Overdrive. Both are 3:73 GT4 rear gears ratios and both are G80 locking differentials. The 2004 had entire gauge package go out. Speedo, Tach, fuel, oil, Temp, Alternator charging gauge The air bag driver red lite is ON.

I had an amazing experience! Sean Kelly made this experience wonderful for me and found me a car which suits my needs!

If you hear anything bad about the 2003 ford f250 just know it's not true. Currently, mine has 251,242.9 miles and it runs just as good as the day I got her. My brother has the same truck. He got it in 2004 and his currently has 1,487,675.7 miles and has no problems. Best truck I've ever had 10/10! Just make sure you change the oil and take care of it!

Taden was very knowledgeable and helpful though the whole process. Very good to work with and full of energy. No pressure with the sale experience.

I purchased my truck in 2005, had 92,000 miles on it. Still driving it today with 253,000 miles on it. Doesn't use any oil between changes. I have all the scheduled maintenance done when it's time. I live in Arkansas, wouldn't be afraid to get in my Dodge and drive to New York in it. The only complaint I have is that the dash is starting to crack really back and pieces of it is falling out. I love this truck!

Probably the best car buying experience we have ever had, Chad is the most honest car dealer we have ever dealt with! Traveled from out of town, the vehicle was exactly what he promised. Will definitely use him to purchase another vehicle. Thank you Chad for the great experience.

Purchased my 2002 extended cab 4 x 4 2500 HD new in 2002, it now has just over 200,000 miles and has the 8.1 L gas motor I’ve never even had to put brakes on it i.e. absolutely love this truck are use mobile one synthetic oil and it’s never giving me any trouble, if I had it to do over again the only thing I would do different is purchase a crew cab instead of the extended cab this is definitely the best I have ever owned and I have been the owner of many As I am 74 years young

VK and CJ were very helpful in purchasing a vehicle for our 16 yr old daughter. VK asked our needs and was very knowledgeable about the vehicle we were test driving. CJ was very helpful on the financial end of things. Everyone was polite and very welcoming.

My 2001 GMC Serria has 295,000 miles and it is showing no signs of stopping or any trouble this truck has served my family for 21 years with no break downs I got a aftermarket speaker that fits perfectly GMC is the most reliable car maker in the market

I Thank Keagan for his honesty and respect. Very good staff was a great experience. I recommend 5 stars to all here.took all the time I needed. He brought the car to the dealer in Bothell it was great.

Just purshased from a neighbor. Only 51000 miles. Needs headliner and a paint job but other than that what a deal!! I had to buy it! Never pass up a good deal. I’m gonna paint it, fix the headliner and put a bed liner on it. I could probably sell it but I’m won’t. You can alway use a truck.
