Should I Sell My Truck?
Today Hubby called from his cousin’s garage and asked me if I would be interested in selling my truck. Apparently he knows of two people who are interested.
I was planning on taking the insurance off of my truck, but only because it needs work and can’t be driven right now due to the risk of damage to the bed. The plan was to take off the full coverage we have on it, pay the small amount of insurance that the loan company requires us to pay them until the loan is paid in full, and then use the money we were putting toward truck payments to get it fixed. It really doesn’t need much work.
Honestly, at this point in time, I’d rather sell my car. I’m afraid to drive it at the moment, because the throttle was sticking. What if I were to get out on one of these curvy mountain roads with Pumpkin in the car and have that happen? Hubby says it’s fixed, but I’m still pretty leery of it. And even if that is fixed, the windows won’t roll down and the AC doesn’t work, which makes for a sweltering ride in the summer.
But I know I can get a lot more out of my truck than my car. It’s newer, and it has 4WD (even though that part needs some work too, it still makes it more valuable). And cosmetically, it’s in great shape other than the dent in the bottom of the bed (which can be straightened out and is covered by a bedliner.) It doesn’t come with a Good Sam extended service plan, but it is a good, solid truck.
I guess I’ll probably sell it if the buyer will give me enough money. It would certainly be nice to be able to pay off that loan and pay Hubby’s truck loan down some too. We shall see.
