Don't let the price tags scare you off of what you want. It's almost summer and I'll garyntee you that if your willing to put in long hours of backbreaking knuckle busting hard labor, you can earn yourself 3-5 thousand dollars over this summer. Think how nice of a vehicle you can get with 5k.
A lil trick I'd like to share with you is to find a truck you like, in the price range you can spend then take that much in CASH (tens and twenties) to the man but only start off showing significantly less than sticker price. This trick is mind manipulation at its best, even if it's only 1000 dollars, 100 ten dollar bills looks more intriguing than ten 100's
When someOne sees a fat stack of cash, they will make stupid financial decisions to get to hold it. thanks tbob
ALSO, when you see your whole summers labor, all you've worked so hard for in a massive pile of ten dollar bills, you will be more likely to get stingey and protect your hard earned incOme
