Damn i miss my truck

[Fla 66 cuda]

I have been without my truck for two weeks [it was totaled] i have been searching for a replacement for the last two weeks [2001-04 dakota or durango] but i have come to realize that they get around 13-14 mpg city so i have started looking for a 1500 quad cab 2003-05 v8,2 or 4 wheel drive [if i'm gonna get crappy milage i might as well get something with a bigger payload]. I'll take any one of the three but i'm having issues parting with 6-8 grand for a vehicle with 125-185 thousand miles. I would take that and put it down on a new[er] truck but i'm unable to have payments [due to liminted income] so far i have not found any thing in my range [plenty of ones i like] that is decent [miles under 100k] the trucks are all nice looking but high mileage. Plus i'm a little afraid of the 4.7s [due to issues they have] i'll keep ya'll informed. If this keeps up i'll get pissed and just buy that A100 and say f--k it. [my ole lady would kill me if i done that].

Lou, I know how hard it is to buy a used vehicle, never knowing how the last owners treated it. Thankfully with my truck, I got it less then 50k and its been a great truck, remember I have the 4.7 and now 107k going strong. Not saying all will by any means, there was a qc hemi on cl for 8k but it to had 150k or more, I know you said you can't really do payments, but you might wanna explore the option if the payment is right, for what you want, I pay like 220 a mth and when I bought it I only traded a truck in worth 2k and drove it away. I can only imagine what your going thru trying to find the right one and a good deal at the same time...good luck bud.

Your right jay but my monthly income after all bills food ect don't allow payments. I have found several 1500s 02-03 with 110-128k miles from 6k-8k still waiting on my check then i'll go chat with these folks and try to make a deal. I found a 03 durango for 4500$ 1 owner with 90k looks nice but i'm thinking i would rather have/need a quad cab truck. I'm trying to get the best deal for as cheap as possible [without getting screwed in the process] plus i don't want another 2nd gen going for 3rd gen non diesel [can't afford another diesel]. I don't really like the body style but it's growing on me [then again i did not like the second gens at first].

Thanks Jeff but i'm gonna stay away from duallys and diesels [like a high maintance women can't afford them anymore] i'm looking for 02-05 ram quad cab trucks that are not beat to shit [inside and out] with 90-130k around 6-8k and no payments, but i think i'm asking too much cause of my ocd/pickeyness my son,his girl,my wife are ready to kill me i'm so depressed and fedup with the crapy stuff out there for redickulas prices. I also have looked at 98-03 durangos and dakotas as a second/third choice no luck in that area either but really have not looked that hard for them. God i miss my truck took me 5 years to find my last one.
