16 year old buying Used Truck for under 5k Raleigh
hello everyone in the Reddit car community, I’m from Raleigh and I just got my license a couple months ago and I‘m saving up for a new car. In my mind it may not be the smartest financial move but my parents are paying for car insurance so now I’m saving up for a car. I’ve got about a grand saved up and I‘m trying to find a second job but I really want a truck more than any other car. I feel like a truck is going to be safer but also be the most fun for me. I know I won’t be able to afford anything relatively new but I’m working to a goal of around 5-7 grand in hopes to get between a 2005-2010 truck of some sort. I would really like a Tacoma or a Tundra as they are the most reliable but wouldn’t be opposed to a different option. I’m just looking for some advice, just financial or in general, about my future car expedition.
