A new TRUCK.
So here's the deal...
I've got $6,000 saved up for a new truck, which I need. I've been eyeballing a '97 Chevy 2500 with a Stahl utility body. Through the course of negotiations I've been able to wheedle them down to $7900 plus Cruise Control and a towing package. Bluebook is something like 10 grand. Should I do it? I'm inclined to say yes, but I'd rather have the overwhelming support of rec.skiing.alpine prior to making a decision. My aphasia strikes a bargain with the barter yardie. JP ********** RSVP. |

Get em to throw in at least a 12k 12 month warranty on the tranny - preferably the entire drivetrain. Seriously. My friend just lost a couple of three dimes on a 98' Chevy. It blew all its innards 31 days after he purchased it, a few hours out of warranty. Or is it a stick? nate -not a fan of the slushbox- |

Well, does it match your Budweiser cans? You wouldn't want to drive around in a ride that clashes with your beer cans, especially since you're probably going to have a hundred or so of them rattling around in the bed before long. And since buying a pickup truck is primarily a fashion statement, color co-ordination is really all that matters. -- //-Walt // // There is no Volkl Conspiracy |

Maybe its my dislike of the color that makes me notice, but I see a ton of them in that color. The other day I say a very cute blonde in a nice new black Volvo Wagon at the grocery. Now that was hot. I wish more Volvo owners were interested in fashion. nate |

I wish more Volvo owners were interested in fashion. I buy 'em used, so color isn't really something that's part of the purchase decision. Unfortunately, the last one I bought is exactly the same color as the one I already had, so my wife and I now have matching Volvos. That would really really bug the **** out of me if I cared about fashion. -- //-Walt // // There is no Volvo Conspiracy either |

I beg your pardon. I do NOT drive around with 100 beer cans - those 100 cans are worth five whole American dollars. Invested wisely, that could garner me close to two-thousand clams if I live until I'm dead! And since buying a pickup truck is primarily a fashion statement, color co-ordination is really all that matters. It's forest green. To match my eyes. JP ******* Truckless. |
