Whats up with the cash for clunkers deal? I'm sure by definition my truck applies. Can I trade my apex in too???

But really, why wouldn't a guy buy a $200 POS off craigslist and trade it in for the rebate on a new vehicle?

My thoughts exacttly buy them cheep and sell them high.
 
It's my understanding that you have to have owned it for 1 year with lisence and insurance. YES TOM YOUR TRUCK IS A SHOE IN. The apex ?? the government does not even want them so it's worse than a clunker it's a junker hahaha.May be scrap metal prices will go up again some day.
 
2 more big loads of wood in today. I am starting to not like getting firewood anymore but i just keep saying yes when someone wants me to help them. hahaha
 
you have to be upgrading to a vehicle that gets 10+mpg better than your clunker as well

EVERYTHING gets 10 mpg better than my blazer, i should get in on that.
gonna be trying to sell it when i get back. has some issues but its a hell of a start for someone who wants to build a gnarly 4x4.

holman and one can testify, it ran hard
shad can testify too as he never was able to beat me:D

What is it about me that makes cars salesmen never think I'm serious?:mad:

Test drove an Uplander today that I was fully expecting to drive home...figured we were basically gonna dance on price. That was mistake one.

Drove the thing and it did ride nice, but the sliding door had a sensor off and beeped the whole damn drive...no biggy easy quick fix. Then I noticed a severe pull to the right, I mean immediate pull. I figure well there's a couple hundy off the price to fix that. Get out on the freeway and it does fine. Then I hit some brakes and the freaking rotors are shaking like Sawyer on a Monday morning. Figure no big deal the van does have 60k on it, knock around 5hundy off.

Get back to the lot and the wife and I check the rest out, pretty clean, seems to fit the bill.

Salesmen tells me "well we just got this in last week and it hasn't been in the shop to get checked out" when I mention the pull and rotors. WTF kinda dealer runs like that?

So he tells us we can make an OFFER contingent on the shop checking it out, etc. So I figure we can dance on the price and I tell him 1 grand less then sticker out the door and we will sign papers. Fawker looks at me and says the internet price is the final price.....WELL THEN FAWKING SAY THAT RIGHT AWAY AND DON'T WASTE MY TIME!!!!! Don't tell me the shop can check things out and tell me to make an offer. Offer implies a willingness to deal, especially when there is stuff obviously needing attention.

I swear I could walk into a dealer and throw 30 grand in cash on a table and not get dealt with(in fact I have walked into dealers and said I'm 100 percent good on any price show me what you have, with bank papers, and still got nothing). Sometimes it sucks looking like a young punk ace.
 
Whats up boys the ride poop ya too much? I was way off my game today. Not sure why. Was that way from the first corner with mud, and I went thud. Then the next stop I flat out just fell over, no reason. Top was full witness to both incedents. Flopped a few more times on mostly stupid spots, like a casual corner.

Was a good ride though, Top suffered some finger tip carnage about 1/4 mile from the truck.

I ended up with no ability to shift because of a broken shifter bolt, was fine till the end then it was just road. Glad I got a big bore, getting moving in 4th gear from a stop probably wouldn't work on a 125.
