John J. Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Hey everyone! Mom and dad took me out to a Chevrolet car dealership and said that they were looking at some ads for trucks (they knew I wanted a truck to haul my boat, ride to school with and work with) and they found a 2007 model Chevrolet Silverado, two-wheel drive, auto-matic transmission, AM/FM radio, A/C and Heating, long wheel base with an 8ft bed, snow white for $14,900. Of course with tax, etc. etc. the total was $15,700. It is a beautiful truck, brand new, smooth riding, etc. The deal was that my parents pay $10,000 on my brother and sister a new truck/car and they did the same to me. So all I owe them for it is $5,700 but I've got $2,000 in the bank so really I owe them $3k. They said it is for my graduation gift! I can haul my boat around, carry scaffolds for drywall (work), scrap houses of drywall (again work) and do all other stuff! I will take pictures tomorrow and post em! I am soooo happy about my new truck lol! We traded in my 2000 dodge neon for it (the neon was only worth $1,500), the total would originally come out to $18-19K but since we traded in the car they deducted the $1.5k and also my dad knew one of the guys working their (our neighbors brother in law), so we got a deduction/great deal. God bless 8-) Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted February 7, 2007 Super User Posted February 7, 2007 Congrats!!!! I can't wait til I get out of school and can get a new truck. '92 Accord still kickn' strong though. Even if I get a new ride, there is no way I will get rid of it. I'll drive it until it absolutely has nothing left. Almost 200,000 miles and still going STRONG!!! ;D Quote

Super User Root beer Posted February 8, 2007 Super User Posted February 8, 2007 Nice. I got a 1988 F-150 pick up truck. I cant wait until summer I'm try to get me a new truck maybe a tahoe. My parents and I are going try to get me a new one this summer. Good luck with it. Oh my truck got over 250k miles on it and still running Quote
Bluecraw Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Good for you!!! :) Didn't get my first "nice" boat-puller until I was about 30 years old, so I would say you're doing pretty good. Here's a pic of mine. I think I'll get my son a bass boat when he graduates...what better gift?! Quote
bassnleo Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Just got me a new truck also. A close friend owns a Chevy dealership, he calls me and says it's about time for a new truck eh? I say no, I like my current Silverado. He say your a dummy for not getting a newer one (I had 70,000 on mine), Chevy is offering 2.9% financing on used certified Silverados. Got me a 2004 Silverado ext cab 4wd, payment didn't change, 27,000 miles. Love them Silverados...... Quote
