Asking Price is $4950

Suggestions on how to convince my parents??

 
To be honest with you, I doubt they will co-sign since diesel fuel cost **** near $5 a gallon. Unless you have a decent job that will allow you to keep that things tank full, I wouldn't even bother. Just my .02

 
problem is your gonna need a personal loan for a car that old. I would start by not telling them it had that many miles on it lol.
x2 Bank isnt going to finance a vehicle that old, esp with that many miles on it. If you do get a loan from a bank or credit union, let you parents do it so they can tell them its for home repairs or something like that.

$4.09/gallon for Diesel up here in Maine...lol
Point proven....with todays market buying a Diesel vehicle would not be smart unless you tow equipment all day long.

 
You don't need to get a loan for a truck that costs $4k with a quarter million miles on it. I know it has leather ..., however if you don't have the $4k to buy it, what happens when it breaks down? which it will. fixing a diesel is nothing close to cheap. I would predict that the truck ends up sitting or sold with in a year.

My advice, don't do it, unless you hace the cash to buy and a couple grand in savings for problems in the future.
