I want a truck!

July 29th, 2009

2009 GMC SierraEver since I got rid of my truck in December of last year I’ve regretted it.  I miss being able to throw something as simple as a can of gas in the box and going to fill it up.  Now with only having a car I need to be careful that none of the gas spills in the trunk or in the back seat.

I thought that having a small trailer would be fine but my old 96 Civic just doesn’t do it on trips outside of town.  After all it is a 96 and it has over 232k on it.  I was thinking of putting a trailer hitch on my 08 Civic but I’ve decided against it.

So now, I have been looking around for a good price on a used truck but the truth is they are all expensive.  I mean most of the time you can get something new for pretty close to the same as a used one.  The nice part of buying new is that you get a warranty.  I want something with a warranty.  I don’t want to be forking out tons of money in repairs.

I was checking out the GMC Sierra pictured above.  They have it on special at a dealer a few hours away from here for $26,998.  That would be perfect for me.   Crew cab,  4.8L, Air, Cruise, Tilt, 4×4, i’m happy with that.  I don’t need something overly fancy because I would only use it around town and to put my bike and sled in when I go to the camp.

I need to think about this some more.  It’s too bad I am still paying for my 08 Civic because I would run out to buy this truck right away.
