My $600 purple truck

September 20th, 2007 by Ana

Just wanted to post a picture of my $600 purple truck :) Hey hubby! This is yours and it’s waiting for you!  And yes it really does run LOL

Cost of truck: $600

Tax, title tranfer, and tags: $123

Insurance for 6 months: $177

Being able to get out from under the truck note on the 2005 Chevy: PRICELESS!

    Aaah! I used to have a Ranger. Loved that truck, miss that truck, deciding against getting the transmission fixed when it went out and instead getting a different vehicle is the cause for a pretty considerable portion of my debt.

  3. Ana Says:

    Hey Jake…Hubby’s old ranger had the transmission go out which he used as an excuse to get the 05 that is our debt! The lady who sold me this ranger says the problem is just the slave cylinder next to the clutch, which around here is a $300-500 fix.

    Lynnae…the county clerk couldn’t believe it either…so I had to go get an affadavit from the seller LOL

    Hah that’s what the problem with mine was too! I was assuming a much more expensive fix than that, though.

    heh heh heh

    A purple truck. You can’t sneak around and do anything in that truck. It’s so stinkin’ obvious.

    Ah well, keeps you honest and living right. LOL

  14. Dana Says:

    OK, that’s insane. If I could get a used vehicle to meet my needs as a single mom I’d want a pickup. And I would really want a purple pickup. And you have one. Ha!
