Looking for a truck

[11A-ABN]

Hello guys,

I've been looking for a truck. Found a few good deals at a place called Auto Finance Specialists down in el cajon, and was wondering if anyone knows about the place or has heard something about'em. www.afstrucks.com Let me know. Thanks.

Allen, heard you got a great deal with your truck? Let me know the trick if you can, thanks.

Actually, while I was at the dealership, San Diego Dodge, I was resigned to purchasing a new Dodge Ram. They weren't really giving on the price because it was a hot selling truck at the time. As I was considering what to do, they pulled out another truck, it was formerly a Enterprise rental truck. Because it had 18k miles and some scratches and dings in the bed, they gave me a great price. I really did want a new truck, but I couldn't pass up this deal, since it saved me so much money. So no trick really, I just settled for a 2003 former rental truck.

My left rear brake light went out twice now, so an annoying dash lamp comes on along with a bell, but otherwise, it's good :).

Deathblow, you are crazy. I would never buy a rent-a-car. The few times I've rented one, I maul them as toys. Seriously, $18 for insurance? We're talkin power slides, donuts, and tire-howling brink of control turns. Yes it makes me an a$$hole, but it's irresistable fun. Most people I've talked to do the same.

I'm the same way. 3 out of 4 times I'll decline if somebody offers to let me ride their bike. I don't want anything happening to somebody elses bike/car even if it's not my fault. If I do ride it I ride like a grandma. Then again, some people say I ride like a grandma anyway.:lol:

err... thanks for the info guys? Hey thanks Allen, I was actually looking at some Enterprise rental trucks as well, and they do have some great deals. I only looked at the ones that Enterprise sold themselves, but may be the dealers have a better deal on those things.

In general.... I have seen enterprise be a hit or miss.... a friend of mine bought a ford escort form them and was plagued wiht problems.... but her parents did the same thign and are kicking strong... it is really just like buying a used car... and I don't blema allan at all... HIS TRUCK IS SICK!
