Zach103, thats a nice looking truck, and with the 6 it should get decent enough milage that it wont suck up all the boat cash. BTW. what are you studying in school?

personally I wouldnt, if you have had the 01 since new. and its been trouble free.. its better to keep it than pay $2500 for something with only 16000 miles less, that you know nothing about, you might pay $2500 dollars for the oppourtunity to have it break down in 3 weeks and cost another 2500 bucks..then your out $5000. and if the old taurus has been a PITA... find somthing with lower miles. if the 01 runs fine.. drive it till it croaks, or till it becomes unreliable... put the $2500 in "the bank.":p.. (yea.. I am going to name my boat "the bank"):p

Re: OOPs Crew

I should have mentioned that my dad is a used car dealer and i work part time for him, we bought the 2001 from him 3 years ago when it had 83,000 miles on it. Growing up in this situation 3 years is the longest i have owned a car, in the 8 years we have been married my wife has had 7 cars. The 2005 is a 1 owner Florida car owned by a corporation (witch in my experiance means very well maintained) in presant condition there is about $3,000 differance between them
