It's a royal pain getting financing right now
I have a lease to a decent co, 30 yrs o/o,homeowner,similar credit score
Everyone wants 1/3 down
I bought a Columbia 6 months
from Ryder
I know, Ryder yuck!
But my budget was 25 k or so and I was running into 2004,5, 6 trucks with
engines with new pollution technology for the year
A lot of Ryders had the 2004 Columbia
but had 2002 style C-15s!
They are basic trucks but that's all I have ever needed
I'm home every night
financing
took me easily 3 weeks or better
and my other truck had a bad engine
I was out of work for 5 weeks trying to get a truck
Just trying to find a truck you are interested in
means you have to drive all over the place to look them over
Then comes warranty issues
There are some really garbage warranties out there
they make it almost impossible to collect on a claim
I went to one of the dealers in Bethel Pa
(If you run 78 in PA you know the ones)
The guy told me he could only give me a verbal warranty
"but if anything major goes wrong in 30 days we'll make good"
