Where do you find the money for all this Dave?
I have my ideas I've gotten from TV shows, but..... ;-)
Well J, Most wouldn't ask nor answer such a question on a public forum, but since I'm in the business of being honest, I'll tell you...
When the Interceptor Shat itself the last time and took out the tranny with it, I approached my insurance company (on the advice of a memeber here).
They told me to go pound sand at first due to it being moddified.
I told them, " There are MILLIONS of Moddified cars running around but you have NO trouble taking their insurance premiums, do you?".
They realized I had a point.
They told me they weren't going to do anything for the motor but since the trans was taken out due to the motor letting go, they helped me with the tranny cost.
Moving on...
I had a good bit of Credit card debt from all my past issues with this truck.
I decided to part out all the other stuff that was good.
With all the money from those parts and the insurance helping me, I was able to pay off BOTH of my credit cards that I had been throwing tons of money at to get paid down..
So I got rid of a Good bit of monthy outgoing..
I decided to start over and get the 2012 because driving the Interceptor "stock" was just plain depressing.... I had equity there, but my payment went up a couple hundred dollars...
Moving on.....
Friend of mine had this truck already modded up...He wants a new 2012 now.
He kept trying to get me to buy it... I advertised it for him here and on CF.
Had some interest but no takers right off.
LONG story short... I had something that I traded him that I had already paid for long ago and had no use for... He took it on a partial trade...
SO, since you asked... I am now SAVING a little bit of money per month with two truck payments as opposed to one truck payment and Two large C.C. payments that I was throwing extra at each month...
The plan is also to unfortunately Sell the TDI to buy a trailer and to throw the extra towards the loan on this 07....
In closing J... I now have two %3.5 interest truck loans instead of Two %12.5 Credit card loans....
Sounds like smart money to me
Not to mention the deal I got on this 07 was SMOKING!!
Not many would put their personal finances out there to satisfy the internet crowd but I feel it's nessessary so the "haters" won't think things that simply aren't true... I BUST MY A$$ FOR THE MONEY I MAKE AND WORK A LOT OF HOURS... I have the right to enjoy it, don't I?
