How long are you going to keep your truck?

TJMaine · October 23, 2014

Not really, I just like low payments... Fluff my savings account and pay off the truck if something happens.

Seems to easy too get upside down on that.

I was at the dealer in July just looking and when a salesmen started talking to me, I said I was just looking, so he says what do I have, told him 2009 gmc Denali loaded with every cookie from the cookie jar, he said what if I get you a great deal, I said ya, what 15k for my truck and 50k for a new one, he said give him 15-20 minutes and took my keys and came back and said they will give me $24,500, I about shit myself and said ok, let me look around, 10 minutes later, I said I want this one, 1.5 hrs later I was driving a 2014 silverdo ltz with all the cookies except the dvd player that I don't need, so long story, but I get a new vehicle every 5 years, since I was 17 and im now 48, my 2009 was starting to show signs of rust on the painted bumper and under the doors, I took very good care of it and washed it religiously, so I wont have anything with rust, had payments since 17 and its figured into my budget, only they get larger every 5 years, 1st payment was $109 and now they are $859.

It had 129,000 miles on it, I thought it was a good deal

BIGDOGx · October 24, 2014

Yeah I think you did ok for yourself getting that amount for a truck with that many miles on it. Regardless of it's age or how well equipped it is 130k is 130k! I know myself not a chance would I spend 24k on a truck with 130,000 miles on the clock, I don't care if the interior was gold wrapped it still would not be worth it so I think you made out on this deal imo.

KARNUT · October 24, 2014

If you put all that down on your 50K truck you must have a two year note with very high interest, Mr Fastercat, or I read something wrong, which I can do.

"What is any loan?"

Only if you finance the entire purchase price

Damn 24.5 for a truck with that many miles IsNt bad at all

I've financed the entire purchase price on all of my vehicles... never put any major money down ( maybe 1k or 2k ) but i've never been upside down on my vehicles.... I always owe about what they are worth. I paid out of pocket for an extended warranty on this truck just in case
