Fly out to CA, get the one in the link I PM'ed you... and drive it home. DONE!

While you're here we can have a smoke and a drink. It's win/win, bro.

I drive a Honda fit, it probably could go in the back of your pick up trucks. They are cheap and reliable for the milage I can do at work. Plus great gas milage, get to picket a little cash when I get reimbursed for milage.

I had a Geo Metro in 1991. Had a Hyundai Accent for a commuter, too... *shrug*

Beats walking... or a moped.

Went to my parents house to check out the new truck. I love it. Drove it a little down country roads and a short highway run. TONS of effortless power.

Can't wait to borrow it for a camping trip to see how it tows. Probably tows effortlessly. I really like the 10 speed tranny, it's super smooth.

It's HUGE though. I thought my truck was big, this one's bigger in all dimensions. Hood is mid chest height on me, it's mid belly on my truck.

I think I will probably spring for the diesel, cost be damned, when I get a new truck.

I'm leaning towards the 49'ers, even tho I hated them when they ruled football in the 80's and 90's...f'n Walsh, Montana, Rice, Young, Craig and Lott always found a way to beat the LA Rams

I still have a lingering bias against AFL teams, dunno why...when I was a kid, I used to throw the football cards away if it was an AFL player...they were considered minor league when I started following pro football in the early 60's...

All the closest dealers stock the fully loaded stuff in the 60-70k range. That, or the more basic trucks just sell faster and I never see them.

I've found a few diesels in the 50's but that's still too high for now. Once student loans are done in a few more months I can consider 50k for a new truck. Dad's new truck stickered at $75k. dunno what he actually paid, I'm sure it was much less.

Part of the issue when looking at cars n stuff is my proximity to IL. IL sales tax is over 10% where IN is 7%. Theres a lot more selection over the border, but there's a lot of demand on this side. I need to expand my search eastward. That's what I did when I bought wife's Civic.

please, just for me...ask to see the invoice for the one you may want before you talk about anything else.
depending on what goodies they might get from the factory or for selling x amount of units etc etc it's conceivable you could pay a little less than the dealer paid.

now repeat after me...There Is No Such Thing As MSRP

refuse to engage in any conversation that includes those letters. if it doesn't exist, then any discount from it is a story, not a savings.

and don't discuss that "comfortable payment" or if you have a trade in until you are happy with the purchase price.

Advice noted, but I'm a horrible negotiator.

Somehow ended up paying nearly 2k over listing price when I bought the wife's Civic.

Still better than the 5k over listing I paid when I bought her a Subaru...

I think I need to take my salseman brother in law along when I'm ready to buy.
