Re: Buying a repossessed car
Ah well, running a business is a totally different proposition to deciding what to drive as a private individual. The tax man might look twice at a claim for depreciation on a Roller, so in that respect an F150 is far superior.

Re: Buying a repossessed car
Round here you slip the bin men a 5 or 10 and they take virtually anything short of a decomposing human corpse.
Its cheaper in the long run to bribe than to pay to run a truck just for the odd dump run.
And besides, if ones man is doing all the work, what does one care how many runs he has to make with one or two bales of hay in the trunk.

This talk of need for trucks makes me laugh. Serious people haul construction materials in a Sunfire.

Seven small square bales and a lawn mower in the Beetle. Two kayaks in the Mustang was more spectacular but we only went from the old house to the lake.

Re: Buying a repossessed car
I guessed the Forester might be on your shopping list.
The Kamloops Subaru dealer's currently holding a big sale event - don't know how long it's on for though.
That F150's you link to has got the baby V8 - our is the 5.4L. No sense in pissing about with something weedy
It cost me $102 to fill yesterday, and will do a fraction under 600kms from a tank of gas. Far more practical to load up a couple of dirt bikes, do a run to the dump, haul stuff from Home Depot etc than a car. You know it makes sense 
We used to have an extra cab style truck (reverse opening 1/2 size rear passenger doors), but found them a pain in the bum - trying to load shopping and get passengers in the back in a busy parking lot is far easier with a full size, normally hinged door.
Best of luck at work tomorrow - hope they give you a good send-off.
