  Time to trade pickups

I'm also in the process of purchasing something new, but am going toward a crossover. I'm looking at Ford's Taurus X and Dodge. I can get a friends and family discount from either which is better than supplier discount. Dodge has a new 2009 Journey that would normally get a $1,000.00 rebate or the $2.99 gas guarantee. You get your choice but not both.

As I understand it, you purchase your gas with a VISA or Mastercard. This card number is given to Chrysler LLC at time of purchase. It takes about 6 months to get enrolled. You then send them the gas purchase receipts and they credit your charge card amount for the difference. You are alloted so many gallons of gas per year over a three year period which calculates out to gas for 12,000 miles per year.

It sounds like allot of hassle to me. Dealerships have told me that most just take the $1,000.00 up front to reduce the loan principle.

People still need pickup trucks, no matter the cost of gas. Ford, GM and Chrysler all have way too much building capacity as the market trends have changed. Your GM truck will still be assembled either in Flint, MI; Pontiac, MI; or Arlington, TX from what I understand. The plant closures take effect in 2009 & 2010.

If you hold off for just a little while longer, you may get a better deal as 2008's get phased out and automakers give better incentives. $5,500.00, however, does sound like a good deal and may be worth taking. Sometimes you can get the dealer to throw in a bed liner or tonneau cover to close the deal.

  Time to trade pickups

There are many things to consider. How many miles do you drive annually? What do you want to do with the vehicle. In my case I need a 3/4 ton truck for hauling and now have a smaller car for normal commuting.

You may want to keep your current truck for hauling and get another used vehicle as a people hauler and for other stuff.

Another consideration is age. You only go thru life once, so enjoy!
