what do you guys think?
ok, so a lot of you know I am deploying to afghanistan next year.. Ill be making enough to pay off ALL my debt including the truck and still have a little money left over..
Im not sure what i want to do though.. Should i go ahead and pay the truck completely off, or just make double payments on it and bring it down to say 9k or something? Im totally torn on whether i want to keep it when i get back or trade it in on something else.. Im REALLY liking the 2011 SCREW Raptor!! or maybe even a new Heep.
Another question.. My truck has been in an accident, but only minor damage was done, i think it was around 3500 tops worth of damage, the fender, bumper and light had to be replaced and that was it.. So how much do you think that will diminish the value of the truck on say a trade in bases?
thanks for your guys' thoughts and input!!

excpet i most likely cant afford insurance for two trucks and why would i need to trucks! lmao but i like the idea!! hmmm... lol im just looking at the fact i can most likely take atleast 10K off the price of the raptor if i trade my f150 in

You don't need to insure both trucks nor fully insure them. I'm kinda surprised you can afford a raptor on Army wages, don't they cost about 40 grand or somethin? Won't you instead be looking at purchasing a house?

for instance right now im stationed at Hurlburt field, florida.. the air force pays me an extra $914 a month for rent/ mortgage, and $312/month for food. once i get back i will have NO debt so i will have my entire base pay to do whatever i want with- roughly $2100/month.. also all these numbers will go up since i will be putting on SSgt(e5) shortly after i get back..
