Default 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!

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.

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, 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.

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
http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/2058895665.html

this is you right here
http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/2058863650.html

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/2058694599.html

cheap enough
http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/2058634049.html

this one looks too good to be true
http://raleigh.craigslist.org/ctd/2058556152.html

http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/2057971907.html

I'd look in the Richmond area as well
