Who finances a 1988 ford ranger? :icon_confused:

Can I stretch that 2,700 bucks out over a 5 year loan?

You're forgetting interest in that math... assuming someone who needs a loan on 2,700 bucks has horrifying credit figure 30% APR to be safe, thats $77 a month. You're 2,700 dollar truck now costs 6,500. Yay math!

Lets not forget that with an auto loan you also need full coverage insurance and not just liability so during that 7 years you can expect to pay 3 times more for insurance. So now that $2,700 truck is probably in the $10,000 range.

And since its a 2.9 itll need new heads every other year so tack on another $1,500 to be safe.

How hard did you have to search for that... :icon_rofl:
I remembered hearing some commercials out of the radio stations in Philly with that same slogan. When I searched for a video of it I actually found multiple different videos.

There was one with a guy in a wizard costume.

That’s why I posted the other one.

at least the other commercial had lots of exciting noises and flashing colors.
