Eric Winter: New truck trust me

Eric Winter: Been there got two cars in my driveway that r shot

Christanie Rauh: ok hes trying to hang onto the truck I told him its not worth it

Eric Winter: Yea I was the same way but ur gonna save a shit ton of money

Ronald Johnson Sr: Buy a different truck

Christanie Rauh: what brands are the best for pick up trucks?

Tom Tulenko: Toyota any model and Nissan Frontiers.

Ronald Johnson Sr: Depends on what you want, for just pudding around, I bought a Ford after owning Dodge and Chevy and like what I have Ford has never let me down

Christanie Rauh: yes its just for him to drive around in really

Ronald Johnson Sr: Go test drive different types, youll know what fits

Ronald Johnson Sr: All vehicles are different, and depending on how its cared for any one you get can be good

Christanie Rauh: very true I plan on not buying junk to start with this time so it can last longer then the normal cars we get to buy

Ronald Johnson Sr: Remember not to buy the 1st one you drive and dont buy from a used car lot, they know how to doctor a vehicle to get rid of it, and never buy as is

Christanie Rauh: I know I wanna go to the big chain cos this time not the stupid little car sales man I sick of them lying to us and selling us death traps all the time

Ronald Johnson Sr: I know what your saying, I got burned real bad by a used car sales dick

Ryan MJ Loew: take it to your mechanic before you buy.if they wont let you then they only got something to hide.

Christanie Rauh: what if its from like kia, or Ford themself

Ryan MJ Loew: then try and get some type of warranty
