Good bye to my tacoma, had to trade it

Hello there,
This forums is the best site and help me alots. Since I don't post very much and read this site one or two times a week. Long story short I got laid off from my job back in August 2011, I get check from Unemployment checks from October '11 to end of March '12. Started with SSDI (Disability income) from April '11 to now. Since September '11 I have been looking for jobs and done all of applications, post resume and etc. Most companies did not contact me, or jobs already filled.

So anyway my old job I make $2000 a month, no problem with budget. Down the road with my SSDI ($1400), I refinance with my Tacoma loan on May '12. It helps me little better. Later on the gas mileage kill my budget. So I have to force my self to trade to used 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5 premium with upgrade speakers and all weather package yesterday. Payment decreased about 30 dollar and Gas mileage is great! I drove about 250 miles and my gas tank is on half.

Sorry for my long post, I don't need any pity or feel sorry for me. I can live and move on. Maybe down the road if I get better jobs or budgets, I would buy Tacoma again.
I am not leaving this site because I enjoy this site very much.

 

Good luck to you, hope it all works out.

 

sorry to hear man best of luck down the road..

 

Good Luck silver, remember money isn't everything.
The Outback is a very capable off road vehicle. With the exception of really serious rock crawling you will be pleasantly surprised on where your Subaru will take you.

 

Best of luck man!

 

Good luck bro.

Things will get better for you in time. Hang in there and come back when when you can.

You don't need a Taco to visit TW

 

Best of luck sorry to hear your news. Stay on TW if you can

 

You'll be back some day. Subs rock in the snow and are very good.

 

Yeah I used to own 2000 Legacy Sedan GT and 2006 Legacy Sedan. They are great in snow and fun to drive. Those two cars is not the same as Outback ground clearance.

I know that outback is good for minor offroad. I brought 4 new upgrade tires to my outback today. Toyo Eclipse - Better traction and smooth than my stock tires. I felt my outback is little bigger than my previous Legacy. I know it about the same but different model years.

Sorry to hear man, times be tough, best of luck brother!

 

Good luck to you!
