If we can avoid flaming, I would appreciate it.
As I said in the other thread, had this planned for a couple months, waiting to get all my returns and stuff in order. Did it today. It's the same dealer that we originally bought our Expedition from on 02, the mustang in 09, and my original focus, actually the same guy we bought the Mustang and focus from too. I put down a lot of money, suffice to say the total amount financed was only $13k and some change. In one fell swoop, the debt I have to my name is cut down to almost 1/3 what it was. My monthly expenses, should I lose my job, are at the point where I can subsist on unemployment and my savings account.
Also, they gave my mom a really good deal on her trade. As I mentioned before as well, she was looking to get back into something bigger, for the camper they want to buy in a few years, as well as when we build the house later this year, we will need something to haul stuff around, as well as landscaping, which we plan to do all ourselves.
As I said in the review I did a short while ago, the Nox is a great car, but it's not big enough for what we will be needing to do, and wanting to do. So she is trading it, for a 2013 Ford F-150 Supercrew. It's an XLT with the 3.5L Ecoboost V6, it's black, with the adobe colored interior, 4WD model. They are waiting to hear back from the bank on that one, should get it sometime during the week.
Anyway, I can't even get across to you just how done I am with this stuff. I've made it very clear to my mom, that if I ever try to do anything like this again, to forcefully restrain me. I have positive equity in a vehicle for once, and as long as I retain my job, I will continue to pay $500/mo, and I can have it paid off in 2/3 years.
I'll have pics of the F-150 later this week, but for this is what I got with it dark and in the garage. It's a 2013, and the only reason I did that was because that with the rebates, it was actually $500 cheaper than the equivalent pre owned 12' model with 34k miles, and I get the full warranty. I did the financing through my credit union, so no shenanigans there. 1.99% interest for 72 months, though as I said, I'm going to continue paying significantly above the payment to get it payed off. Regular SE model, No Myford touch, just the normal sync system, with USB input. Had the winter package so heated cloth seats and side mirrors.
Will post better pics later.
This is the Truck she is buying

This isn't the exact one, but this is the color, same trim.
