BOOOYAH!!! (pssst - I got my new truck!)

Dixie · 04-22-2008, 08:28 PM

Yes you read that correctly. I have purchased a 2001 Ford SporTrac. And gots pics of the beauty.

3K down - 145/month 30 months. Niiiiiiice!

Uhmmm I think Im going to be in a really good mood for a while!

shel90 · 04-22-2008, 08:30 PM

$145 a month!!! WOW!!

CONGRATS!!!!! She is a beauty!

U deserved it since u worked so hard and everything.

Babyblue · 04-22-2008, 08:31 PM

niiice! $145 a month for 30 months is not a bad deal.. especially for a truck.

PuyoPiyo · 04-22-2008, 08:32 PM

Good Deal!

Glad that you are happy with your new truck

Jacob · 04-22-2008, 08:36 PM

Oh boy, that's some niiiiiiiiiiiiiice truck, Dixie! I'm sure you're very pleased with the great purchase, please admire and enjoy the ride!

Matilda · 04-22-2008, 08:38 PM

Yeah! Cool!

Awesome!

That's a nice ride you have!

You got it at a good price which is great. I love riding and driving the Ford SporTrac. My mom has a 2004 Ford SporTrac and she lets me borrow it from time to time. For me, it was easy to drive and to maintain the truck.

I've always teased her from time to time to give me the truck, haha. She wouldn't even budge. LOL

Dixie · 04-22-2008, 08:41 PM

Yes I felt it was a good deal. I had 3,000 put back between tax refunds and savings and I decided to make a large downpayment to bring the monthly payments down. The truck was sold at 6,500. So basically I have it halfway paid off.

I LOVE this truck! It drives so smooth and doesnt vibrate like my old one did. Its only had one owner so I feel confident about it. The only major dings on it is on the tailgate where it looks like they had been pulling a trailer and there is a scratch on the paint which dad will fix with the proper paint from the autmotive store and the windshield has a crack where gravel has hit it, which won't cost too much to replace based on the estimates from the Fast Glass store. I'll just have to go with my parents grocery shopping on a Saturday and leave it at the shop for them to work on while I ride with mom and dad. Other than that it is in perfect condition for its age.

Jacob · 04-22-2008, 08:44 PM

the more I stare at the photos, the car looks sexy

Jake just for you--

Jacob · 04-22-2008, 09:02 PM

Oh man, it looks awesome! I wish I had one of these sexy trucks

How many miles does that truck have?

shel90 · 04-22-2008, 09:02 PM

I think Jake has the hots for you now. LOL!

Dixie · 04-22-2008, 09:18 PM

I think Jake appreciates a lady that can handle a truck. It has 97,000 miles on it, but it is also 7 years old as well so its not too bad. I don't plan on driving cross-country anytime soon. The truck is in very good condition.

Jacob · 04-22-2008, 09:21 PM

Keep dreaming, buddy!
I just like the truck

Dixie · 04-22-2008, 09:28 PM

yeah a co-worker of mine who is a complete dingbat asked why I didnt get the extended cab - it only has front row seats.

I said lady its a SporTrac - it is classified as a midsize crew cab truck. Its more than just an extended cab - its the lovechild of an Explorer and an F-150, lol. I had to further explain to her that ALL sportracs have those cabs on them with 4 doors and a full size back seat.

How about you give her your old truck, hmm?

Good, then don't come and complain to us about the gas bill.

Oceanblue7 · 04-22-2008, 11:22 PM

Congrats! I love your truck that's one of my dreams to be in one. I am sure your extremely excited to drive it. Its a beauty love the color and all. You are getting a great deal on the monthly payment.

Awesome!

purplecatty · 04-23-2008, 06:23 AM

Nice! LOL.

Phillips · 04-23-2008, 06:28 AM

Congrats!!! Nice Truck

zerodog · 04-23-2008, 06:22 PM

Very nice truck you got... I was thinking about getting SUV...

webexplorer · 04-23-2008, 08:34 PM

That's very nice! It would be so easier for you to put things in the back of the truck with grocery bags and things when you have some dogs inside your truck. It might be great if you have a landscape business someday. I just thought of it.

Your truck is a lot better than Subaru Baja because of the size. The truck looks brand-new. Your insurance is less and less on property tax. Smart move. Many people are buying fancy cars that they really can't afford them; many of them are foreclosing their luxuries. You got right time and right place to buy. Smile!

My Ford Explorer 2006 does not have what you have in the back truck.

I am sure that you will love it because it makes you feel security with your full wheels drive. It is worth it. The gas that we know is a problem. We are still waiting for a better hybrid truck for the next generation. I believe that some hybrid trucks this year is not quite perfect. The Prius that I sat with my new friend, and his car is really nice and it runs 55 miles per gallon which is hard for me to believe it. I would rather to buy a truck instead of a car. It is just my preference.

***~SG~*** · 04-23-2008, 10:27 PM

Very nice truck! Dixie. Congrats!

Jiro · 04-24-2008, 01:43 AM

I'm sorry but I personally think Ford vehicles are terrible. Japanese cars are more reliable. Go TOYOTA!
