We found a nice looking two horse trailer on Craigslist for $1250. Except for needing new tires it was in excellent condition. The owner barely used it and it parked under a cover. The trailer was built in 1976 so it is solid steel which makes it heavy, but sturdy. We ended up offering $1100 because of the tires.
We have been looking for a work truck for a few years now, but decided to save some money instead. Normally we borrow a truck from someone or rent a UHaul. While inconvenient it is cheaper for us than paying licensing, maintenance, and insurance on a truck. I don't have a lot of knowledge about car repair other than simple things; therefore, I was looking for a truck with low miles. I wanted to get something in the 250 (2500) size, preferably with a diesel. This way I can haul things like cement and rock with less trips.
Even with the trailer purchase, our plan was to haul it with dad's truck, though, it is a little under powered being a Ford Ranger. The Ranger also needed an upgrade to a 7 pin plug for the trailer. While my dad was at the Ford Dealer inquiring about getting the trailer plug upgraded, he took a look around the lot for used trucks. On the lot he found a 1996 Dodge RAM 3500 Dually with a V10 Magnum. It had only 96K miles on it and one owner. The used car manager priced the truck wrong when he put it on the lot for $7900 instead of $8900. They said they will honor that price for my dad if he bought it that day.
I drove up to Longview that evening and took a look at the truck. It drove great and was in excellent condition. It had new tires which is worth quite a bit when buying a truck. While a bit more power than I was looking for in a truck, my wife and I decided to purchase it. The Ford dealer was originally going to throw away the canopy because of some paint damage. I had them throw that in as well.
This post helped me to know about the illusion of control. I think it is the tendency for people to overrate their ability to control different events. It occurs when someone feels a sense of control over outcomes that they demonstrably do not influencejogos friv gratis 2019
