I am wanting to get a truck for an everyday driver. I already have an Camaro SS that I have fun with on the weekends. I would really like to get a new truck but don't know if that is in my price range or not. I really want V-8 but with prices the way there are I know I can not get a new one for my price range however I might be able to get a new V-6. I am kinda stumped as to what I should do, go with a new V-6 or look for a used V-8 in my price range. I don't have a very high price range and want to keep my payments under 300 a month. I figure that it puts me right at about 13000 to 15000. To anyone that has a V-6 do you ever regret not getting a V-8? I am in the D/FW area and if you know of a truck can you give me a shout via PM or email me at whitesscamaro@hotmail.com. I want a reg cab short box. Thanks.

 

With 15k you could get a 02-03 with a V8 in my are. This woudl be with about 30k miles.

 

^^^^WHAT HE SAID

Igot my truck for 12500. w/ 68k miles i think.

i would go w/ the V8

@ Lleast a 4.8 but if your not going to swap out the engine to a 6.0l or anything get the 5.3!!!!!!

 

I paid right at 13k for mine with 50k miles on it..

 

It seems like everyone else finds the truck they want but I can't find anything. I guess I am just too impatient. I have been looking all week. I hope the saying is right that says, good things come to those who wait!

 

if you can live w/o power windows mirrors and a flip down arm rest...get a 4.8 base model with preffered equipment get em new for right around 20,000....used even cheaper...i almost bought a 02 base model 4x4 rcsb with auto air ,4.8 and the tow pkg for 23,900 but found an 01 ls 4x4 rcsb with all options except the 5.3 for 20000 with 5 k on it

 

Damn its only been a week and your giving up!!!???????

It took me THREE MONTHS to find my baby.

I know how you feel though man. Been there done that. Its like trying to find a needel in a hay stack!!!

just wait and youll find one!!

 

I actually have a couple that I found last night. I am really just too impatient.
