This makes me sad. Thats what I get for going in for a test drive at Ken Grody.
Any advice on what I can do differently next time, or anything I can do now to save money?
There is a thread in itself....What is the average cost to own and operate a Raptor for a year...
Does anyone use USAA for Loans?!
My first truck I went with the Ford credit to get the Ford Rebates...I made one payment then refinanced through USAA to a much lower rate...
I reiterate my previously stated opinion, however unpopular it might be. When it comes to cars, no cash = no play. Folks need to learn a Raptor is a toy, a discretionary expense. Certainly not something to take on debt for. It is only a matter time before this "instant gratification" society will collapse.
