Talk about murphy's law.......
 

so i found THE truck. 2002 dakota 4 door with the V6 and low mileage. hate the color, patriot blue, but everything i'v been looking for.
so i leave the guy a deposit and head home to call my credit union for a used car loan. well, i cant get a used car loan for a car older than 2004 so they tell me i can take a personel loan at 14.5%. so the truck would end up costing me an extra $4,000. bucks because it's too old.
i guess old mr murphy doesnt want me to have a truck. it's getting a little cold riding my bike to the train station every day.
this sucks.
BLAH!
:cry:

I have been using use penfed.org for years. Not sure if they have that limit but worth a shot. They currently have 2.9 on used cars online.

Ya know, Chuck...sometimes things work out...or don't...for a reason...

yeah reel, but i'm tired of things not working out for me.

here's one for you Charlie

if you can handle the high miles, this one pretty tough

Chuck what about a new one with zero percent financing .... just mabe order something strip down bare bones , thats what I did when I bought my frist brand new truck .....it was a ford f150 drove it for 6 yrs then traded it for a 250 utility body....or mabe a lease that keeps the payment low and with ur short comute they wont kill you with mileage I'm no financial wizard but just a thought.

spare that looks like a real nice truck.

spare, my problem was i couldnt afford to spend too much right now. i'm actually looking at a truck in the $7,000. to $10,000. range. also, maybe something a bit closer.
lumbo, i cant take on a 6 year loan right now. we're working without a contract and this piece of sh!t, jay walder wants to automate the railroad. he doesnt care who gets hurt, as long as he makes his $350,000. a year and his $5,000. a month housing allowance.
so it looks like he is starting by cutting our overtime. now we have to make ends meet on a flat week's salary. let me tell you boys, it aint easy living on long island on a flat week. raising two boys who never stop eating and a mortgage that seems to go up just a little bit every year or so.
thought we would have a little breathing room when we finished paying off the boss' minivan but it seems like that extra money just disappeared.
dont know if i mentioned but i have my brother-in-law living upstairs and he hasnt payed rent since last november.
it's all just starting to catch up to us now.

whoops. vented a bit didnt i ? !

the raleigh area is a little closer,, its a good market to look for cars. Not enough snow for salting the roads. You could take a train one way to pick one up that you like
