    Did you have to provide letter of intent to work or lease on? To satisfy whatever program financed you.

    Or was you just able to finance and do your thing. Leased or own authority?

    I don't want to hear about cash. I want to hear about finance. :biggrin_25519:

    My banker has always liked me. I do monthly payments instead of yearly like all the farmers and ranchers do.

    Financed 100% of my first truck. The lender didn’t ask any questions, just gave me the money and said good luck.
