Spent all day working a car and it wasn't my dart.

As frustrating as it can be when it seems like every day there's another problem to fix, I'd still rather be doing that than forking over $6-700.00 every month for 5-6 years or longer. Then when you're finally done with payments, you're left with a pos that's worth 1/10th of what you paid for it, never mind all the $$ you spent on insurance and keeping it running.
Yea I've been looking at new vehicles for a while and they are so damn expensive. Even used ones. A used ram with 100k miles is 20-25 K. In 5 years ill be right back in the same boat. I have found some base 4x4 v6 rams new for around 35. As much as I don't want a v6 truck that makes more sense that 25 for a used one with 100k plus miles. What I want is out of reach. A new ram built with the options I want is 50k I just can't afford that.
