I bought a "new" Japanese truck..

IF Mazda was building trucks again, I would be there in a heartbeat.. I went looking for a new truck last year, and had kind of settled on a Dodge Ram 1500, being my first "new" vehicle, I couldn't afford a 2014/15 Truck, not at 19.9% or higher interest which is what Chrysler Canada wanted..

I was driving past Courtenay Nissan, and saw a 08 Nissan Nismo (the Dakar rally truck), the competition to Toyota's TRD series. A nice quad cab, just loaded for $17,995.. The Bank wouldn't finance me on the Nismo, so they found me a 2010 Pro-4x quad in white, for $22,995.. I hate white vehicles. I found on their website a 2012 Frontier Crew Cab in Royal Blue for $23,995 that I liked, and bought..
