Seen wrecks with limbs missing. Never seen so much blood I wouldn’t buy a vehicle though. lol. Usually in a crash the body doesn’t bleed unless you hit a really vital spot. In fact I’ve prob bleed more building my 3/s than 80% of the wrecks I’ve seen.

Now you are just grossing me out.

I ripped a car in half and didn't bleed. I rear ended a triangle and smashed my face off the steering wheel and windshield and didn't bleed. My dad rolled my Bronco II and didn't bleed.

Yup. Most wrecks we run have very little blood.

LOL I just realized autocorrect got me and it changed triaxle to triangle.

Seems a bit pricey for an XLT

[Duck Vader]

Low mileage compared to others in the same price range

I've noticed a lot of the cheaper trucks have come from Canada.

They're usually very rusty

[Duck Vader]

Hence while I'm looking if I check the vehicle history and see Canada I just close it off.

do it!

[Duck Vader]

Really debating on whether to go see it. Right truck. Decent price. But bad timing.

[ChargerX3]

Great buy.

[Duck Vader]

This is where I am struggling.

If something comes along vehicle wise that is truly a good deal, should I get it? Or wait? I'd hate to get a job and have to rush to get something and not get exactly what I want since I don't know how long the jeep will keep working. But also, so far, the jeep seems to be doing well enough that maybe I can keep driving it once I get a job until something perfect comes along?

[DCIV]

If it’s bad timing and gonna undo all your hard work to dig out of the hole you need to wait and quit looking.

Key words: Wait and quit looking.

Period.

You don't have a job. Stop looking at cars.

This. Unless you plan on paying cash, you’re gonna have to put a ton of money down or go to a buy here/pay here lot if you want to finance it, with having no job.

She’ll have to co-sign, and she has a lease already. Still going to require significant money down most likely. It’s not just about good credit score, it’s about debt to income ratio as well.
