OMFG, I just did the calc for a Toyota Tundra with about 20,000 miles
costing about $20,000. Even paying $9000 down it will cost over 300/ month. Good God am I living in the past. I had no idea vehicles were so dang expensive these days. I think the old '88 dodge Ramcharger can run a while longer. |

I think the old '88 dodge Ramcharger can run a while longer. We put a rebuilt motor in a Lincoln Navigator with 175 000 miles on it. Everything has always worked, the body is perfect, the interior excellant. When it developed a bad valve guide, expensive to fix, we went with a new motor, since it should last another 100 000 easy. All it has ever needed is brakes, tires, fluids. Nothing has ever broken on it. We change the brake fluid and glycol regularly, not just the oil and transmission fluid. Casady Shopping for trucks, it helps to look like a bum. Walked into dealership wearing shorts, dirty t-shirt, nasty deck shoes driving my ancient Nissan. Nobody paid me any attention but after awhile one salesman decided to take a chance on me. He very clearly steered me away from the expensive stuff and toward used. he didnt want to spend any time with me but told me of a guy who buys at auction where I may get a "good deal". It now occurrs to me that I may be able to get something close to what I want, a simple truck with no crappy electrical windows or weird light electronics that think they are smarter than me by buying a truck with about 70K miles for less than $10,000. |

I think the old '88 dodge Ramcharger can run a while longer. $15K down and $825/month will get you a top of the line tow vehicle complete with a camera to align the hitch and trailer. No charge oil changes, brakes, or even wiper blades. Who would be dumb enough to sign up for an $825 a month car payment? |
