[QUOTE="silent_philosophy, post: 12382579, member: 343229"]Larger down payment!! This will protect your investment. You are paying interest on an object with a rapidly declining value--depreciation. Taking a loan with a small (less than 20% down) down payment will generate hardship in terms of asset and debt. Do the math on the loan! How much total interest are you paying for a probability of return? Are you paying more than a NEW truck is worth with a 4 year loan? This goes hand-in-hand with Lease-to-Purchase. If you let time and desires overcome your patience, then you will not get ahead. Do you have 10k$ or more in savings? After the blood contract they call a loan?[/QUOTE]
