Truck financing question

i wouldnt buy a new truck!!!! but your situation is yours,if your not mechanicly inclined an older truck will do the same job as a new one,,,,i had and might be buying back a 97 t-600, i did a ton of minor work to it,brought the old girl back to life! but your choice is your choice,as far as over head keep it as low as possable, this way the income can be broken down between maint and a paycheck for you an the mrs, but everyones situation is different, your choice is yours, and the payment,,,remember the payment can drag you in the whole real quick,,,just my opinion to each their own
