A bit of history, I got the truck the day before
thanksgiving in 2015. Why I did that, I do not know. I was very impressed with
my negotiating skills I suppose. I had
been wanting to get a Toyota tundra since 2008, and I felt as if the time for
me to have my truck had come.
WRONG! It is never the right time
to get stuck in a high car note. My note
was $702/month and $200 insurance for a total of $902/month. I can’t afford that, what was I
thinking? Every month Id watch Dave
Ramsey and try to plan my budget. I
prayed with fervor that I could get the money to get out of this truck note.
God finally answered my prayer!!!
The answer to my prayers came in the form of a Nursing
strike in Minnesota! Thank you,
Minnesota; you have been good to me! The
money I made on that strike allowed me to get out of two financial holes I had
dug myself in. Both debts were $10,000
each. Thank God for Minnesota!
Fast forward to last week.
Well last week I wanted to sell my truck for the quote that was originally
given. In June I was offered $30,000 for my truck, last week I was offered
$27,000, 28,000, and finally 29,000. The $29,000 came from another Toyota dealer
surprisingly! A bit of advice, if you
purchase a brand new truck, do not expect to sell it back for a good/righteous
price. Everyone is out to make a dollar. Remember that!
Don’t by items you can’t pay cash for! I wish I had listen to my own advice. Im sad
that I actually signed the lease and I am happy that God made a way out of it. These days I am going to buy a bike first then
I will buy a cheap vehicle for emergencies. If you don't have the cash to buy an item, don't buy the item!
Also, I tried to sell the truck on craigslist for an entire
year. NO luck, only people trying to scheme you and hustle, “time wasters.” I might do a youtube video on this one. It feels so good to not have to come up with that car note money before the 9th of each month. I am very happy though!!!!!!!
