I spent a little time today perusing the wonderful world of cars, looking for the right one. What I would love to do is order a brand-new Ford Fusion 1.6 6-speed standard, maroon with a tan interior, but that's not going to happen at this juncture. So, my plan is to get a cheapie car or light truck until the big money project is done on the Yukon (sas) and drive it around.
Enter the 94 regular cab long bed beauty I found today. It was a W/T model, so no A/C, cruise, manual windows and locks, 4.3 V6, 5-speed 2wd plain jane horseless carriage. It was clean, squeaky clean, nothing showed any wear other than the bed, which had fairly light scratches, given the age. It had a canopy. Here's the kicker, it had only 68,000 miles on it.
But here was the problem, they were asking $6850 for it, and that seemed pretty steep. What do you guys think it's worth?
P.S. it was one of those "We'll finance anything and $299 takes it home" kind of places, that stick you with a 5 year loan at 24% interest at $100/mo. I wouldn't ever do that, but I will offer them cash for it, take it or leave it.
