Oh come on now....lol. Cars can be fun but there is always just something about a truck that you can never replace.

How old are you blaze? The only reason I'm doing this is for my sister to having something that won't break down and my dad is paying me over KBB for the value of it. Even with the money I have in my savings account and the amount my dad is paying me I still have to take out a loan to afford what I want. Let alone insurance is going to rape me. Keep your truck, I got into a really "lucky" situation where I actually made money on my truck. I've only been driving a car for about a week now, and I can tell you there already are some thing that I miss about having a truck. I now have no space to put anything, puddles are no longer fun, and the man factor is just so much bigger when your not in a truck. My advice to you is that keep your truck and save up so that you have no issues buying a car later in life. Well off to the bank I go to try to find how much they are gonna screw me over for a loan...

I was in your exact situation so just think of your proprieties. I haven't used my truck for a truck besides for that weekend of offroading in months. So I figured it doesn't pay to have a truck when the thing that means most to me now is MPG and a little power. Otherwise I would go cummins just because they are tanks and it will last FOREVER

True, a lot more power with better gas mileage. Can't complain. I like them a lot, you won't regret it. Plus, you know your truck will still be around.

Once I'm finally done with school in May I'll be saving for a car. My schooling will be pretty much all paid for except about $20k worth which is awesome seeing I've been in school for 5 years. My grandparents are FL bound so they're going to rent me their house for $800 a month and it's worth about $2000 a month so I should be able to finance a newer WRX or STi no problem.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to this now, but I'm getting so tired of looking at Craiglist ad after ad.

If you're tired of searching craigslist for several nearby cities, try http://www.searchtempest.com/

You search on it, and it gives you results from every craigslist within a distance you specify.

BTW, Nice choice in cars! I have a fast car, and I love it.

Well im a bit older than yall(28) and have a house and family and you will definitely need a truck then ususally as jobs around the house and moving things are common. The MPGs can definitely be important for a college student as having time and $$$$ to play around on a truck can be obsolete i would imagine. Good luck either way you guys go.
