Well, I love scouts. Already have my project as most of you know. Now, I live on the eastern side of Washington state... Its like a desert over here. Extremely hot in the summer, hell of cold and snow in the winter. The winter car I drive is a 88 pathfinder, with already a rebuild tranny that is going out again, and a junkyard motor, chassis has at least 250k, and my dad said when it goes were not replacing anything else on it. My mom also bought some horses, sold her nice Mercedes, and now has taken over the pathfinder that I drove.
Our truck has major engine problems, and costs to much to fix then the truth is worth, so who knows what is going to happen with that. Our newest, '05 4runner dad wont even let me drive to school, I hardly get to drive period.
Oh yeah, and my car. Its so low its better used as a plow in the winter, lol =p
Well anyways, since my project is NO where near being done and good for winter, not to mention I'm not going to keep it road worthy.... Most likely I will turn it into a big toy. So it wont even be legal for the roads when I get done with it.
This all brings me to why I am going to buy another Scout. I start work tomorrow, I will be making minimum of 9/hour, most likely I will be making 10. I found a nice, lifted with good tires scout on CL.
Pics:
Not bad for 1400. A little spendy, but its in pretty good condition. Tires are worth at least 400 with rims, so I am looking at a thousand dollar truck, minus at least 600 dollars in lift, and 300 in headers. Really seems like a deal.
My problem is that I only have 300 dollars in my bank. So I email him, tell him my situation, and how I wouldnt normally ask to do things like payments but the thing is that I really liked the truck. He gave me his number, and told me he would love to give it to another Scout lover..... But there is more to the problem then that. It seems like payment method would work with him. Perfect. But my dad HATES these old things, and is shopping for mom for a vehicle... Only Nissan/Toyota early '00s. So, I dont even know what to say to him to do this. I am thinking I will tell im I traded something from my project and got this for free because he needed to get rid of it so bad. I have no idea. But I gotta find a way around my dad with this, and then probably end up paying my own insurance. But with something this age, I think I could afford it. Unlike my Honda.... haha...
No idea if it will work out or not. I will keep you guys updated with my truck buying decisions. I got a couple other ideas, but I happen to like this Scout..
