Looking for cars, need opinions on options

[AggieTJ2007]

Ok, so my GF has about 10,000 to spend on a new car. I think should get a truck. I found a 1999 dodge 2500, diesel 2wd w/ a manual tranny.

it has 123000 miles on it. and they are asking 9750

[bburris]

Yes, you should definitely tell your girlfriend to buy a vehicle she doesn't need that you can borrow for towing your Jeep.

[uglyota]

um, what kind of car does she want?
:flipoff2:

[AggieTJ2007]

she likes the idea of getting a truck for me to two the jeep with

[uglyota]

that seems ridiculously cheap for that truck, doesn't it?
See if she'll buy a 97 GMC Sierra z-71 with 160k on it for $8000 and give you the remaining 2k to blow on your jeep :flipoff2:

[AggieTJ2007]

na, I think ill pass on that truck, plus I don't need anymore money to spend on the jeep

[AggieTJ2007]

actually for what it is seems about right, single cab long bed, manual transmission

[uglyota]

KBB didn't have a check box for "kustom underbrush pinstriping"
that's gotta be worth something though, right? :D

[AggieTJ2007]

yeah, what about kustom front end work

[william_ace]

jordan has that truck in an auto.. paid a little less than that. what kind of condition is the body and interior in?

[jerryg79]

get her something low miles and japanese,otherwise you'll spend more time working on it.

[uglyota]

yeah, what about kustom front end work
it's fixed--she's pretty again

[AggieTJ2007]

yeah, that is the other option. I can get a 36 year unlimited mileage warranty on the truck. Or I might have to succom to evil and find her a little car, but I hate little cars.

I like toyota, Feller how much you want for your taco

[AggieTJ2007]

yeah, the interior and exterior look nice on the truck

[StevenAg03]

I can get a 36 year unlimited mileage warranty on the truck.


some of a b!tch...if you can get the above stated warrenty then that truck should never have repair costs :flipoff2:

[uglyota]

but you can bet that on it's 36th birthday the motor will blow :D

[StevenAg03]

technically it would be its 43rd birthday. cause the truck is 7 years old already and then add another 36

[AggieTJ2007]

well 3 year warranty, ide love a 36 year warranty

[AggieTJ2007]

let me about the VW's 1.8T. How is the reliability

[uglyota]

you oughta know better...

dude seriously like VWs are the kewlest cars evar!

I would nevar buy a VW they nevar pass the "sounds good" test on our machines!
:D

[AggieTJ2007]

and you know that I listen to Brandon, I believe the same he does.

Plus who would ever listen to anything nutz says

[uglyota]

which is super funny because Nutz makes his living testing diesel engines

[agjohn02]

if you consider cleaning the soot off the test cell ceiling part of the testing then, yes he does.

[uglyota]

:laughing:
apparently I assume too much...

Get something that is gay and sporty that you would never buy yourself, but would be fun to drive. Miata, mini-cooper, some gay volkswagen thing, Prelude, Integra... (Civic ;) ) I'm partial to Honda or Toyota. I don't see how you could go wrong with one of those. We had an Integra, and tried to kill it several times without any luck. The RSX is the Integra replacement, I think they are cool for a chick. I would steer clear of getting her a broken ass old tow rig or an off-road rig of any type. When it breaks, it will be your fault, get something that makes her happy, not something she is getting to make you happy.

good advice
