Might check out the repossession lot at the bank we use in Brady. The problem with this is that I remember when we lived in Houston people getting burned with these "cheap" buys from the banks. However, I do appreciate your taking the time to respond and I will look into it. If the purchase were for regular usage I would not be apprehensive, but this usage is very hard. That tin can truck would not last a whole day.
