    That warranty won’t cover the emission issues that truck will likely have . Some will put truck down for weeks waiting on parts.

    Agreed--fix your credit, first.

    While you do that--wait for much better prices--and also better business conditions.

    Part of being truly successful is a matter of timing.

    And the timing for such a move is....for the moment....simply terrible.

    On the other hand--now is a GREAT time to be a company driver for at least a mid-sized fleet.

    Run as fast as you can.
    Or change your handle to Ownslave.

    That is a very bad interest rate

    Truck valued at : "$ 60,000.00"
    Down payment : $ 25,000.00
    Finance value: $ 35,000.00

    Monthly Lease: $ 2100 X 36 = $ 75,600.00

    $75,600.00 - $ 35,000.00 = $ 40,600.00 (interest)

    you will be paying $40k in interest @ APR rate of 38.66%

    Sounds like a buy here pay here type place. Probably sold that truck 5 times already in the last 2 years.
