What would payments be on a new truck?

I was at the Volvo dealer and he wouldn't actually give me a good idea of what monthly payments would be for a new ($135k) truck. "Credit application blah blah blah..."

But really now: to purchase a $100,000 truck, what would payments be? I'm thinking about $2000/mo? Assume zero down just for the sake of argument.

Go to any loan rate calculator on line and play with the numbers.

Here's just one of many:

I really wish I had a good reason for why I didn't think of that... :?

one thing I'm learning is this: if you can't afford to buy the truck outright, you can't afford the truck. Insurance and interest cut into the bottom line too much.

Are you equating the cost of a truck with the fact you don't like the "look" of it? You pull the skin off of any of any Kenny, Pete, Volvo, or Freightshaker and what do you see.....driveline components all made by the same select group of companies (we'll leave off the Volvo engines in this discussion). So why should a Volvo be "cheaper" than a Kenworth? They all use outsourced suppliers for the major and costly components. The only differences would be cost of labor to build them and the design and fit of the "skin" components. In fact based on comments I've seen on the ride and noise levels, Volvos rate among the best.
