We have been saving up for a while, and dreaming, about buying a new (to us) truck. It finally happened last weekend! Tim had looked at several trucks and we had our other car for sale for a week or so...I think it got a little hard to wait because he ended up trading in the car when he saw this truck and took it for a test drive. The boys love it too :) It was fun to get actual cash out of the bank and Tim took that and the car and went and offered it at the dealership where this truck was for sale. We knew we were making a low offer, but after taking Dave Ramsey's class we felt like the cash would help us negociate. It was also a good lesson for the boys to see us paying for the truck without taking out a loan and a good chance to talk to them about how important that is. It took several trips for the salesman going back to the office to talk to the manager and them continuing to ask Tim to come up on the price a bit, but they finally gave us the price we asked for. Its been fun to ride in it this week!
