SD may no longer need to borrow my Dad\'s truck anymore.......
Hey guys -
if any of you check out the NorCal section at all, you may have noticed that I'm looking into a truck that's located near San Jose. Here's the link:

thefrush has graciously offered to go and check the truck out for me today. if he says it's in as good of shape as it looks, i think i'm gonna do it. i'd fly one-way to SJ on Saturday morning and be back sometime that evening. KBB on the thing is $3730, so I'm trying to get them down to $3800 and I think I'll have a good deal. carfax checks out as completely clean but shows it may have been on the lot since January which means a deal should easily be had.
So, what do y'all think? I know this may seem a little odd (esp. with my wanting the GTO so bad), but I've really been missing my truck lately, esp. after tooling around with all the ones at the ASiM event. The payments on this thing would be next to nothing, as would be the insurance. Plus, my thought is that this'll give a vehicle to drive around when I get more serious about selling the focus.
I have a good amount of experience with F-Series from this era since I've owned one, my father's owned one, and my best buddy owned one as well. It's a good truck that's easy to work on and should be very reliable but a pretty nasty gas guzzler. The stick should help, though.
Anywho, your thoughts?
Mike
