Well, debating on which one and paycheck.

So, have been browsing RV and Trucks. Had this one in mind first.

Then saw this one

Both in my price range (Cheap) 

Paycheck will be (Estimated using paycheckcity.com) about $1,800 net. $300 spoken for, so that leaves up to $1K down if they'll roll the sales tax into the price. If not, then $750 down.  The first one is strange. Been at the dealer for nearly 2 months. Second one is 14 days old...

146K on a 350 Chevy? From a used car lot? That's one I'd be very, VERY wary of. Hire a reputable mechanic to look at that before you go tossing money at it. If that's the original engine in a work van it could be real close to life's end.

I have seen 300K+ on chevy engines. I have heard of them blowing up at 50K. Depends on how it was treated...But as always caution is always a good plan.
