Title: I Didn't Want To ......... But I Did.

I some how lost my Truck when My Son moved out.

I have been getting around in a "thing" SIL left here at the House when they moved to Tennesse.

I went out Sat Morn with the intentions of buying a used truck in the 15 to 17 thou range.

After 4 dealerships and insults from saleman when ever I make them a realistic offer, I ended up at

the next town from mine. I walked into a Dodge dealership and Heard my name called. It was the

guy that used to be the General Sales Mgr at the Chevy store in my town. He is the owner of the place.

Well he cut me one heck of a deal and I could not turn it down.

This is a pretty basic truck. It has no leather or power seats. boo hoo.

A vehicle gets you from point A to point B. I have had them with all the goodies but not my cup of Tea

any more. It has Pwl Dl, tilt cruise pw windows sirus radio cd player. It works for me.

It had a window sticker of 29,450 and I paid over $10,00 less than that. I am a cheap Date. ;D

Perfect for a road trip, perhaps??   ;D

Very nice looking truck.  I like the color!  I think it will haul a piq or three and I am sure you can get your smokers in there too.  Recon that's about all a man can ask for.  Congrats on the wheels.

Now take a hammer and right in the corner in front of the back bumper smack it and put the first dent in it. Get it over with now then you can use it like a truck and not have to worry about getting a dent in it cause it already has one!

If you seen my vehicles, you'd know they go where they are not suppose to go.

I invented the term "Whiskey" Dent.

Gosh SS you say that like there's something wrong with those accessories.  But then again you forgot about the front brush guard!

I miss those days of always having your hunting tools behind your head.  But those hat thingies really made it harder to get your date to snuggle up close to you.  If your hat was in the passenger seat and you opened the driver side door to let her in, she had but no choice to sit in the middle.  Those hat thingies kept your hat outta the way and she had the option to scoot over to the door.  Not a good sign.

Nice purchase CRG. I have a dodge van. It has been great. Maybe you can get a custom grill grate for the box.

Well, that makes 3 of us with a new vehicle in the past week.  Last weekend I bought a gently used Mercedes SUV, the GLK 350 model.  Smallest one they make.

Congrats on your purchase CRG.  Nice looking ride.  That will hold a smoker or two!

Like I said, I didn't set out to BUY a NEW Truck.

But when I only paid 2 grand more on the high end of my limit ($19,010 plus TT)

for a seat no one has farted in, I really didn't think I could pass it up.

This is the first NEW Vehicle I have bought myself since 1998. I have

had a bunch since then, they have all been used. The work I do (epoxy)

my trucks get trashed out bad carry guys to work. No one wants them

after I get thru with them.

CRG,
I have always been a FORD man, but I like those new goats.
As long as it does not leave ya on the side of the road it's OK in my books.
Oh ya nice score as well, you would be crazy to buy used with a new one priced like that.
