2020 Peterbilt large car

Well then i would hope that you drive a shabby old car. You know mayby an old AMC Gremlin, or old Oldsmobile station wagon. Not that they are not bad or fun, when restored. But just following your line of thought. Actually i don't drive new. But you may think it's new or newer, and pass judgement on how thick my payment book is. Like i said before. Everyone has different ideas about equipment etc. If someone wants to live in a tent and drive a brand new truck..whats it to me? I have my own things going on. To much to worry about someone else's deal. I am happy you are a sucess.

 

Just like with the new trucks, if you have new farm equipment the days of working on your own are long gone. You can replace parts and do preventative stuff. But anything that throws a code needs to have the laptop hooked up.

 

$299,640 by time loan is done??!
Wow. That's only 80 percent interest rate.
Sounds like a great way to depreciate your investment.

 

I can totally see the wanting a nice truck thing. I was next to a BEAUTIFUL 379 this morning...like so nice it was a shame it had to do work lol. But that being said it's a preference thing, I imagine that Pete was that drivers hobby on top of being his paycheck. If I were to go buy a truck right now I wouldn't spent the extra money for looks because I have a 993 Porsche among a few other cars that are my hobby. That's where my hobby money goes. I totally see both sides of it, nobody wants a ugly truck but some people (myself included) wouldn't spend the extra money for good looks. To me it's a tool, needs to be efficient and reliable... nothing more, nothing less but it's not my hobby. I think life is too short to race cars that aren't designed the way God intended (rear engines, rwd, and air cooled) but most people can't justify spending 120+k on a car.

 

Hey now...I love my old Oldsmobile station wagon lol. My daughter loves it too because she can sit in the back and wave to all the trucks on the road.

 

My dumb ### forgot to upload a pic of the S.S Beer run.

 

No. That is paying 80 percent of cost as interest over the life of the loan.

It works just like a mortgage, except most mortgages are longer than most truck loans.

You pay interest over the life of the truck in order to avoid needing to save up to pay for a truck with cash.

Some people do not want to spend ten years saving as a company driver to buy a nice truck.

 

They don't make cabovers anymore. So I do not ever want a new truck.
