Unhappy Sold my truck today

Put it on Kijiji sunday, had a buyer by Wednesday, couldn't meet me till tonight, took it for a drive and offered me a reasonable offer, had to take it.

Truck was costing too much in fuel for all the city driving I'm doing now. Still going to miss that thing. I love it, I hope I don't regret selling it. Going to go to a compact car with some solid fuel milage.

My payments + insurance + fuel will only be ~$50 more than the fuel alone was costing me in the truck.

Here's some pics taken just hours ago. Had the truck for 7 years, put 105,000 miles on it, never left me stuck (just stranded), and everybody loved it. I know theres some of you stepside haters out there but shut up, I'm crying here.







Final pic w/ some HIDs. Love these things. If you're thinking about buying them, do it.




Thanks for reading! I'm still going to stick around here...love reading about the projects and seeing the slick whips.

I feel your pain. I miss my GMC more than most of my past vehicles but I don't regret it... Hopefully your next ride will make you feel the same way.

Sorry about your loss. I'm glad my company pays for gas so I don't have to worry about mileage... And good thing, it's a pig.

I'd miss that truck too.. I can't see selling for something less... than what I've put into mine.

fuel in the truck was costing me ~550 a month, payments+ primary insurance on the car will be about that cost.

maintenance was starting to eat me too, around $1800 every 6 months. that's a good chunk of change.
