It's about time to retire my s10

[Wdbutcher97]

I'm driving a 2wd 2001 S-10 with a 4 cylinder and automatic. I've had real good luck with mine. If you take care of your vehicles, they'll take care of you. I'd buy a new one of they we're still available, but it would be a 4x4 with a V6 this time. I'd really like to have a new 4x4 Colorado, but I'm in the wrong tax bracket.

Bought a 1998 Nissan Frontier brand new. First year of the Frontier. Drove it until 2015. Only had 2 problems. The instrument panel quit working, a common failure on those trucks. And the mass airflow sensor went out. That's it. everything else was consumables. Battery, tires, brakes etc.

My local chevy dealership is willing to sell me a 2021 chevy colorado with a v6. My local ford dealership wasn't willing to work with me. The sales man was kinda of a ***.
This truck has everything I need and nothing I don't. Should serve me well.

When it comes to new I'm not so sure one is any better than the next one.

Nobody likes dealing with an ***.

Make sure you go back and show him your new truck.

Was used car shopping. One lot, an alcoholic salesman, (I could smell it on him and he could have guided Santa's sleigh with his nose) comes out. I tell him what I can afford down and per month. What ya got? After showing me 2 ex-rentals at twice what I said I could afford, I walked off. He says I'll never find anything for what I was willing to pay. 2 hours later, I pull up in my, new to me, Nissan Sentra. He looked over and I honked the horn. Didn't know til then that the damn thing played La Cucaracha, but the look on his face was PRICELESS! I put a stock horn in that week.

I was in sales for a handful of years, I never sold anything.
I preferred that my customers bought from me instead.
It always worked out better for both of us.

I did my best to help them find what they wanted, not what I wanted them to have.

I been crunching numbers. It's going to be a little tight at first. I need to find a way to lower my monthly bills. My phone is the worst offender. I might have to give up my unlimited plan and insurance on the phone card.

My truck is a 1995 Toyota T100 with the V-6 engine that I bought a few years ago. It runs like a well oiled sewing machine. I drive it to the range and to the lake, it's not pretty, but it works.

Have a blessed day,

I had 1990 Toyota PU I bought new and the company I worked for gave us back company cars in '94. The company paid personal milage, gas and insurance on the '94 Dodge Caravan ata cost to me of $18 a week. I really wanted a T100, they reminded me of a smaller version of a Dodge D100, a truck that I always liked. I couldn't justify another vehicle. My kid was still living with me.

There's tons of great used vehicles out there.

The phone , one of my daughters pays over $800/mo for phones.

I pay $35/mo.
