in terms of putting you in a new truck...look into it.
That's roughly equal to the 4 year payment on a $20K loan at 8% without a down payment. Not a bad deal and I will look in to it - thanks!
Now about that Sprinter. With gas rocking in at $3.37 here today I need to look at trucks that get better mileage without spending the $6K or so more that the diesels cost. What I really want is one of the little Mitsubishi 1 ton mini trucks with the 4cyl. diesels that I saw all over Ireland a few years ago. They put extended frames on them and stout springs - stout enough to haul a mini excavator in the bed - but they don't sell them here.
What they do sell here are Sprinters and I hear the mileage is pretty good. We've never used vans but I suppose we could get used to them. I did see one the other day that had been fitted with a utility body - might be a good way to go.
So - how do they hold up? How's the mileage?
