Not that any of you care...but I am putting some serious thought into picking up a new FJ Cruiser when they come out this spring. $25k is the edge of what I can afford...but I bet I could still make Moab and the Rubicon this year. After all...what's the point of buying a new truck if I can't use it to put you all in your place?  |

I talked to a few of the dealerships around here. Looks like I am waiting for either the 2nd or 3rd shipment...or I am waiting for someone to get board with one and sell it. I want one...but not enough to pay $5k over MSRP. Screw that.

Hmmm...definately sounds like it will be tough to get my hands on one. Might have to wait a year or so before I can track one down. If anyone has any connections let me know. I might be willing to fly out somewhere to buy one and drive it back.

You don't need a new truck that bad. I'm honestly happy for you that the appraisal came in low.
The problem with that is that you would end up stacking debt. Since the truck won't last the 30 years, you'll acquire additional debt sometime in the future for another vehicle and still be making payments on this one and then again and then again. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I understand what you are saying, but I did put more thought into it then you might think. I am still going to try to get a "second opinion" on the appraisal to make this work. If not, oh well. I will be disappointed, but like you said. Its not like I need it. Just want it.

Aww, come on. I was compairing it to an H2...why'd it have to get moved?
Has a better approach angle then my s10 (33 or so degrees I believe). I am pretty sure I will be alright.

The value of your house? What does the value of your house have to do with buying the truck? Please don't tell me you were trying to use your home equity to buy the truck. |

I like it, and that's all that matters to me.  Get to pick it up between the 6th and the 13th. |

Taking away money or value from a solid asset and putting into a depreciating asset ( vehicle) and tack on interest taxable or not . Is not a good idea, unless you write the truck off as a business expense which I don't the FJ fits ( I dont think is GVWR is 6000LBS)the bill for that. And most home equity loans are variable so the interest will continue to rise, taking more money out of your pocket and out of the value of your home as time goes on.

If disciplined taking an equity line (not equity loan) out isnt a bad way of paying for a vehicle. As long as you take the necessary steps of making the monthly payment as if it were a regular car loan. This also then enables you to deduct the interest annualy which you paid on the loan (not allowed on conventional car loans). If done properly and wisely it is simple and quite cost effective.
