    Congrats on the flat Cole. Good luck on the truck. If you noticed, Vanguard has some nice condos for some good prices. There are a lot of dealers in the area, so do not get hooked on this truck when they are plenty better.

    The interest rate you paying is 40.6% which is unheard of you will be paying over 15k in interest even if you pay it off in 2 years you will still pay over 9k in interest

    Good luck buddy, like others have said there are a lot of used trucks on the market today, I would haggle, haggle, and haggle some more about that interest rate.
    The interest rate is negotiable, don't let them say different. Car dealers will always try a higher interest rate than you qualify for because its all profit. Stand up and get a good deal or walk. Lots of others to pick from out there
     
    Gears and Big Duker Thank this.

    I like this thinking!!! Brings up a very good point. Why kill yourself paying for this thing when chances are you are going to get rid of it soon. I dont know if that was your plan, but seems thats what most people do.

    With that said... What about a lease??? Its much quicker than 60 mths.

    I think I've seen Triple R Diesel on Ripoff Report more than once. I think their gimmick is selling shiny junk. So what the truck is falling apart, look at all the chrome.

    I don't see anything wrong with family helping you, within reason. My grandfather, God rest him, helped MANY people get started in various businesses. All because he felt blessed with his own success in the trucking industry, he owned his small trucking co. for over 40 yrs., and not only helped people start out in business, but also financed a couple of peoples homes for them. My family has always felt obliged to help good people when we were doing well. I guess we feel you reap what you sow.
