[Removed Comment]
Im 20 and all i can afford is the truck and a few bombs for it...I wanna be able to have other things in life, like a house, and be able to go out, [Removed Comment]. Gonna move up into the mountains this year I hope and in a few years I can get back in the game with a bigger, badder CTD and all the bombs I want after I get a little money in the bank.

Right now I'm gonna find me a 1/2 ton gasser and be able to put some money in the bank each month until I get my house. Ill still be around tho fellas...its not gonna be easy to sell a bombed cummins around here.

Hows a 1/2 ton gasser gonna save you money??

 

well right now i am paying $467 for the truck, $350 for insurance, and $200 for fuel each month...if i go get me a decent used 1/2 gasser i will be paying less than half for the trucka nd insurance and still about the same for gas

 

You're making a good choice. Stick to the plan, a CTD will always be there when you're ready to buy.

 

ill miss her like crazy but right now i have the chance to leave the big city, head to the sticks and buy a house. i gotta take it, get into some good work down the road and then buy another CTD when i can really afford it without "living outside of my means"

You could probably get a 12 valve CTD for the same price as a gasser and get much better mileage than any gasser will ever give you.....
I will never drive another gas pickup again. And what's a "Truck payment"?

 

never again will i have such a large payment or for so long on a vehicle...id like to find a nice old 12v, but if not i can live with a gasser for a few years until i get a house and get on my feet.

right now i have to get out of the 02 first and as soon as possible

 

I don't blame you man, I've been tossing around the idea of selling mine as well. It's amazing how old that payment becomes after making it EVERY month for 5 or 6 years. Mine just sits in my driveway, I NEVER drive the thing so I don't really see much point in spending money on something I never use......................BUT then on the other hand I just can't bring myself to sell it. SIGGHHHHH guess I'll just have to suck it up and keep paying the payment!!

But you have a good plan man, buying a house was the best investment and decision I have ever made. I bought mine when I was 21 and never looked back!!!! Houses gain value.....trucks don't!!!

Good luck man!!

I am in the same boat. I bought a house about 2 months ago and am getting married next month. I want to get a cheaper truck so I have some $$ to put into the bank and not spend every dollar I make.

So does that mean your moving out to my neck of the woods? Well there used to be woods anyway

Truck payment -$0
insurance -$578 year
fuel -$140 month

being able to drive a CTD- PRICELESS

Good luck to ya,
Michael

 

i wish i had no payment and my insurance was $578 a year...

i pay $1,000 a month to drive this truck...my next vehicle must be 4x4 and cost less than $500 a month to own and drive

 

I wish I paid less than $500 a month for fuel At least mine is paid for... but still.... over $1000 a month is a good big chunk of change...

 

$1000 a month... I don't even MAKE $1000 a month!

chaikwa.

 

What would posess you to throw away $1000 a month on something that will be 1/4 of what cost in 10 years. Buy a house or some property, or something that will benefit your bank account and future.
