[Fatdaddy]

i have NEVER OWNED A NEW TRUCK new car in my life.. Truck now is a 14 a 150 125,000 miles
I did retire from a Steel Mill 2 years ago there 38 years.. Now I saved a lot of money over the years...
I got $400K . in 1 account $300 K in another
I own my house car truck.. I owe light bill, water, phone, Tv, vigra and now that even don't work..
I went to the Truck Place talked to the sales guy.. New truck like I want is $55,000.
That is such a bang, kids don't need my money she is a Dr. at Vandy Son is Nurse Practcitner..
Just thought Id never buy a NEW one that much money..
Truck and TAXES it would be lots of money gone...

Absolutely nothing wrong with good used cars. Let all the New Car Lovers take the humongous depreciation losses. It is true that you can't take it with you (all that money) but that doesn't mean you should spend frivolously.

Buy want you want,they aren't getting any cheaper.I have purchased probably 20 trucks new and maybe 15 cars.

If you can afford it, go for it. You worked hard for a lot of years treat yourself.

38 years of hard work and saving that much money is worth giving yourself a gift.

I bought a new Mustang GT the day after I retired. Be kind to yourself. Go get your dream ride.

Consensus is "If You Want It, Buy It" You have earned it.

You worked hard. There is nothing wrong with treating yourself.

Shop around. I have bought two new Fords on the Ford employees plan; last one in 2002; listed for 38K, paid 32. They make a lot on their trucks.

Go for it!!!!! I saved for a very long time and purchased a brand new Ram 2500 Power Wagon.

My thoughts - I'm not getting any younger- I can finally afford it- I've always wanted a Power Wagon.

I didn't buy the PW because it gets fantastic mileage, it's not a world class hauler- I got it for PURE FUN.

My little brown Cocker Spaniel and I have taken wonderful trips. We both enjoy this vehicle to the fullest.
