New model season coming up. Dealers are trying to move all the old stuff and are dealing with customers. Shame those are too expensive still unless your credit is really good or you find a great deal. No jeeps though, owned by Fiat lol.

It"s in Quebec...but pronounced Mon-ey-Tree-Al...the city.

We say Montreal to hide the colossal awesomeness but I just exposed it all...now I need to go off planet for a few days or hide out in space-time-closet...

Just go to Quebec and follow the river till you hear them speaking broken English...pick enough for a new truck and a B&B for the weekend...but not next weekend because that"s a holiday in Canada...Queen"s birthday...

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
No money tree around here.

I spent the morning at the local junkyard - good trip, too. Got a replacement for the dome light I broke, one of those cup holder thingies that sits on the floor around the shifter boot, A set of u-bolts and spring plates for when I install the 8.8, and took an intake manifold from a 2000 3.0L in case I can use it to put on a slightly larger throttle body later on. My intake has the throittle body built in. Also found one of those little plastic wedgies to hold the battery in place. All that for just $101 after taxes. :D

if I had any credit at all
That's the answer to your question here, lenders are willing to make loans to just about anyone who has a pulse. And why wouldn't they, you are basically spending someone else's money, at great expense to yourself, to "own" something that will be worth virtually nothing in a relatively short period of time. They make out like bandits.

I may not have the coolest stuff, or even nice stuff, for that matter, but the only debt I have is a mortgage. No credit cards, car payments, other loans, nothin'.

Be smart, save up and put $5,000-$10,000 in a savings account and use that instead of a credit card and for emergencies.

" credit" is way overrated .... as stated above
of course, with credit , you can have a backup camera, and dual cup holders, and don't forget a self parking vehicle.....:icon_rofl:

I was with my mother at BJ's the other day and they actually had what looked like small trees in pots that they were selling as money trees.
