Addition to our "family"!!
Eurodrivers:
We are picking up our new 2006 double axle, 18' Fleetwood trailer in May, and had hoped to rely on our next door neighbor to haul it out a site where they keep their trailer, for the summer. As well, my wife's Neon now needs a new water pump and probably a timing belt, and as we were thinking about eventually trading her Neon in for a truck, that situation happened, a lot sooner than planned...
After going out to "just look" last Sat., we found a used truck at Crowfoot Dodge, and bought it!! It's a black 2002 Ford F150 XLT V8 Supercab 4 x 4, with power locks, doors, alarm, tinted windows, side step rails, chrome rails on the top of the bed, and 127,000 kilos on the clock. It has a 5.4 L gas engine. Because Crowfoot Dodge is a 5 star dealership, everything on the truck must be "right" before it leaves their lot, so we are getting a new windshield, and an alignment at least, as part of their 180 point check. The paint is in excellent shape, and I can't wait to get ahold of it, and start using my Mequiar's products, and rug shampoo on the inside!! I don't think it has ever been shined underneath the hood (if you can believe that!!) but I plan on changing that!!
We got it for 16 grand (down from the original $22,000 price), which we think is a good deal, as most of the other used trucks (1/2 ton and up) were around 21 grand and up, that we looked at... They gave us $500 trade in for the Neon, knowing about the water pump and timing belt.. We are getting it towed to Crowfoot Dodge today, from Fountain Tire at Northland, where we got the Neon towed to originally, to find out what the problem with the overheating was..
I think the gas fill-ups will be a shock, though!!
