Bought my first New Truck

[eureka1017]

So my hubby and I have been thinking a lot about buying a mid-size truck and getting rid of the Nissan Sentra that I have had since I turned 18. We have been doing our homework and keeping up on deals and checking the local dealerships for trucks. I knew I wanted a Toyota b/c my brother had one in high school and it lasted him until he left for the military.

Anyways last night dh said he saw the deals for Memorial Day and he wanted to check out the local dealership to make sure of the deal and also to check out a smaller truck I wanted the V6 Toyota Tacoma hubby wanted the V4 (differences in towing and gas mileage) but anyways last night I bought my first brand new truck. Its a Toyota Tacoma V6 4X4. I got a really good deal and I think that the other accountant was shocked that I could crunch numbers just like him and I knew when to make the deal or walk away and the branch manager said I was the toughest deal because I kept saying no to all these add on’s and what I was willing to spend for a truck. (hey when you know your limits you know your limits)

I don’t have a picture at the moment and they threw in a roof rack so my new baby is at the dealership this morning but I’ll post soon! I am so excited!

Congrats, that is really exciting!

I love the feeling of driving a new car off the lot knowing all the miles going on it will be yours. Enjoy your new ride!

Yay! Congrats!! I just paid off my 2006 Nissan Frontier . What color did you get it in? Regular, king, or crew cab?

Thanks!!!

I was a little nervous as I have never bought a car by myself so it was amazing to do just that!!

Thats awesome on paying it off! I paid off my sentra in 2005 and I loved that feeling of just paying it off!

It is a white crew cab with tinted windows!!

Sweet!

We've talked about maybe getting a truck, it'd be really nice to have room to haul stuff.

Have fun with it!

Cool! Now you just need a bumper sticker that says "No, I will not help you move."
