I just got tired of the ranger dieing and breaking down on me. I thought it was bout time to get a big girl truck.
So I went to the Ford Dealership and told them my price range and what I was looking for and BAM! a truck that fit EVERYTHING I WANTED! 2wd (4x4 sucks too much gas and driving 4x4 is out of my comfort zone.... I know how to handle 2wd pretty damn well, especially on ice and snow. They say "you should only drive a 4x4 in Alaska" Unless you're a pro like me and knows how to actually drive.)
I really do prefer a manual, I was driving my mom's automatic ford 500 for the past 4 days and HATED IT! one because it's a car, two its a fairly large car, and three.... I LIKE SHIFTING! lol
the original price for the truck was $14K, but it had when I bought it on thursday 11,363 MILES!!! HOLY MO FO!! The credit lady worked her amazing magic and was able to get me the truck for $10K!! PLUS A WARRENTY!!!
so my overal total for the financing is just of $12K!! my total truck payments inculding my full coverage insurance is just under $500 a month.
It's knew, it's big, my boyfriend can fit in it. I FREAKING LOVE IT! HAPPY ******* BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!
Turning 20, I felt like I needed a big girl truck. AND the fact that I did it all by myself!! I got financing and picked out the truck completely by myself. and the down payment is only $500!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way better than trying to put a couple thousand down.
I'm pretty ******* impressed with myself. AND My daddy appoves of my truck.. he didn't like the ranger all the much.
As for Lilly...... She's going to be hauled off... sadly it's time to say good bye. I tried advertising her on craigslist and got no bites, BUT there is a local mechanic who hauls off vehicles for free and that seems like its the best bet. I will be posting a lot more pictures!
