How much money do you make a week TC? What's your credit like?

Do you need a truck or just want one?

Because like ChromaticAngel said, you should already have at least 2k to put down before buying anything. Also, most banks won't give you a car loan on anything older than 10-15 years or less than 5k. You'd probably end up taking out a personal loan which is typically a bad idea for a car.

I am currently on leave from my job for the summer, but when I work I make like 425 a week. I am currently applied to many many places for a summer job. A truck would make such a search far easier.

JAMC, where do you live?


Michigan. We have more used cars available here than anywhere on earth. Would never pay 2k for anything 20+ years old.

Go look up used truck and car prices for Bellingham WA.



So you are willing to vastly overpay because of your location? Have you considered leasing?

Why the fuck would I lease? A truck of that age is still extremely reliable and an mpg of 27-30 is pretty good, especially for something of that age.
