Oh forgot the details. Its a 2008 Chevy Equinox with 88k miles on it. The higher miles did not concern me as we only put 2k to 4k a year on the vehicle so it will be a long time before it hits 100k. Also got a warranty with it also.2 years or 24k miles. The two years will come first I think. lol. Its a V6. I prefer a V8 simply because I like the extra power they have even though I might never need it but this will do since I doubt I will have a reason to be towing anything that would require the extra muscle.

This is good, now when you get married you'll already have a car that can fit the kids.

Already have one kid. He rides with me already. He has 4 legs and a tail that wags and a cold nose and he is always glad to see me.

Best kind of kids, they don't bug you about wanting to borrow your car.

So I got bored and decided to spend the day in town while on home time. Well town bores me also so I decided to test drive a few vehicles to kill some time. Never had a midsize SUV before. Drives like a dream. I walked in and after the test drive I asked what was the sticker price. He told me it was $12,000. I turned and walked out the door.......straight to my bank and had to see the manger since it was such a large amount of money. Walked back in 30 minutes later and I guess he thought I had changed my mind and wanted to do the financing through them. His mouth about hit the floor when I laid the money on his desk and he had to call the manager in. I told him that he said it was $12,000 and that is what I brought back. All the other service charges and fee the dealer was going to pay or I walk to another dealership and by a truck from them. The dealership agreed to eat the $2500 in extra fees.

Have I said lately how much I love trucking? Lets me live my life the way I want and do what I want without having to sit back and count pennies to make ends meet.smile.gif1411893402.5086.jpg

You should've brought 10 grand he would've took it no way the salesman lets 10 grand walk out the door. Great car btw I have dreams of using my home time by driving a CLS Mercedes Benz 550 and I know truck driving can afford me this lifestyle
