To buy a truck or not buy a truck, that is the question.

Mick, I have wanted a truck for a while now and could easily justify getting the truck because of the scrapping & the fact that I want it. But I don't think I could scrap $250 a month worth, even with a truck. So I want a truck, I just want to make a calculated decision. If I can sweat it out, when the car is paid for I could it for a truck, hopefully straight up, because I don't want a new truck or a pretty truck as I call it. I'll need a work truck.

Ok you want a truck and you could make some more money doing more scrap than get the truck. I buy all my trucks through local city and county auctions, you can find some very good deals there, remember all city's have very strict Maintaince programs they service them every 3000 miles and a driver must write up what ever issues they have will the truck. Case in point I purchased a F250 dully stake body 1999 with 39000 miles on it. The price was $750.00 plus 10% buyer fee. That truck pulls a 18 foot trailer every day I runs great, can not wait for there next auction.
