Default got new toy today

I have been thinking about trading my 07 chevy truck in for car figure since i have 4x4 older truck now i need a good high gas milage car.
Ya like that would have happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well i looked at a few cars. a dodge caliber and chevy impala. Both since but lacked what i wanted. I ws ready to take either. The caliber ws a 08 42000 miles great shape 4 door book was 11500. They offered a even trade and the woman we deal with said they would properly be open to paying off my 1400 loan. The impala was a good trade it was a 09 yep a 09 25000 miles they asked 13699 and said out the door it would be my truck and 2k or so. The woman said i got a jeep wrangler i want you to look at. She said they where asking 16999 it is a 2005 45000 miles 4x4 hard top mint needs tires in another 10k or so. Everything works 4x4 high and low. She said with my trade they could get me a loan. I laughed as my credit sucks. I drove the two cars heck even drove the caliber 50 miles to show my dad. Got back and got good news i was approved for the jeep plus the 1400 to pay off my loan. Honestly my credit sucks and ws t 440 a month ago seems it showed to them at 540. Guess diff credit company. lol Signed all the papers and left my chevy for the jeep. I miss it but it will be nice to have the 4x4 and some room.
Payment is 281 including 10 amonth for a 75k 3 year bumber to bumber warrenty. 60 months but high 20%. My plan is to pay it off in a year or year and 1/2 that way it helps my credit but i will not pay out so much interst. Can not wait to use it for hunting.

Vehicles are the worst investment you can make with your hard earned money, especially when you have to pay interest on a loan (unless it is a business vehicle). Buy something you don't have to make payments on, you will be much happier. Think about just driving the old truck to save up.

Seems like the OP originally went for High MPG vehicle and came home with a 2006 Wrangler. Financed at 20% and only gets 14-17mpg with the wind at it's back.
Trust me, I owned 83CJ8 97TJ-99TJ-02TJ....they were are/my bowhunting toys only, and are useless for anything else.
