look in to first time home buyers breaks from the Government. they are just itching to give you money for free. the only down side is that it takes about 2 months to process everything. It is worth looking in to.

 

That isn't a bad idea either popo. I'm due out of the house I'm in now (I'm renting it) by March. So I could set it up after the holidays and start looking. Oh and I have some interesting news. I did my homework between the GMC and the Tundra. Shared my ideas with anyone who would listen. I have my buddies and alot of people at work battling it out over the two. I started a war I think!

 

Share away this is a forum right?

 

I don't know if these links will work so I'll post the entire thing on a New Post if i can.

If you crunch the numbers, there is roughly a $4,000 difference between the Toyota ($37+) and the GMC ($33+). Power roughly 367hp - GMC versus 381hp Toyota They are close in weight but the Tundra has a faster quarter mile time. They have the same options but with the GMC I get a few more (check out the link). So now it comes down to the price. Is the 4K worth it? Toyota holds value longer/better but GM is on the rise, especially with a 6.0. Other than that its reputation. Similar power, gas mileage and options. GM will give me a better trade I'm sure. Whats your thoughts?

Sorry for the length. This is what I sent my friends at work. Look for a new post soon for more dtails.

 

Buy a house, treat your truck really good for a couple years, then go buy a HD Turbo Diesel and chip/exhaust it then you will be set.

 

Buy a house. I am slaving my dam life away so that I can own one. I'd give my left nut to be in my own place and be the damn landlord. Renting sucks *****.

 

I feel your pain.

 

buy the house and with a little left over money make your truck look nicer. I put 20 inch rims and mud tires chrome accents and a leveling kit on mine for about 5,000 makes it look like a completely differant vehicle

 

I vote GM. Look at it this way, if you use the $4k you saved buying the GM instead of the Tundra for performance parts you would totally blow away any Tundra any day of the week. With $4000 worth of performance upgrades you would surely gain waayyyyyyy more than 14 measley HP. Plus GM has a better rep and is an American company. Also, the new Tundras are nice trucks but way overpriced. For that much money I would go ahead and spring for a diesel that would last twice as long and deliver twice the power.

just my opinion
