We had gotten it fixed which happen to be the shift mechanism? which was about $600. So that was a good thing that it wasn't the transmission. Which we had one mechanic tell us that was the problem. So we got a second oppinion. We were thinking of selling the truck because Darren would now be driving longer distant and we need better gas mileage. We have had this truck for about the same time we have been married. (10 yrs in Aug) When the people called about the truck Darren told him that the low blue book was 5700(we had a dent from someone hitting us and not fixing it) But he said that we would take $5000. Well they drove it and came back and said they would take it. Darren said when they handed the money to him he counted it after they left and said that it was only 4900. I said just texted them and tell them what happen. They thought they had handed us 5000. Well they came back and of course embarassed. What ended up happening was they gave us an extra 200. He said that he was going to spend about 5200 and so our truck is worth more and gave us that extra. Darren tried to give it back but of course they wouldn't take it. Thank you to them. They were giving it to their son for Easter. They said to drive it until they came for it. Well we were hoping to drive it till Thursday but they called and said they were ready for it. Well we are back to a one car family. But thanks again to my parents they are letting us borrow a vehicle until we can get one.
