Answer 1

It is doubtful that you will find too many trucks of that age in good shape. you are looking for a 20-21 year old vehicle, and the 4 cylinder engine was not known for longevity. In the last 60 days, I do not see where any of those vehicles have sold at Manheim's auctions (Manheim is the largest dealer auction company in the country)

The second problem is that with a vehicle that old, you are not going to find many places that are willing to finance it. What I would recommend is you take the money you would put into a car payment, and save it. In just a few months, you should be able to buy a truck for cash.

Sorry I could not be of more assistance.

Answer 2

Since you are asking for a vehicle of such age you most likely won't find one on any dealership as they all try to keep newing inventory to sell.

A buy here pay here lot is about the only car lots that would carry an older vehicle.

Past that a private buyer is your best option. Local papers, online newspapers, www.autotrader.com, www.automart.com, www.cars.com, www.beepbeeep.com.

Some of the online sites you can input zip code and price range you are seeking and search all inventory. This is best way to see what is near or around you.

Being disabled have you tried Good Will? They always advertise on wanting donated vehicles from people as a tax write off to hand over or to auction off to disabled people. http://www.goodwill.org

I would also do searches for charities, grants, etc that might be local that can be applied towards a vehicle. Call up some finance managers at dealerships and ask them if they know of any assistance programs for disabled.

I know there has to be organizations, etc out there cause there is a company in my town that builds the lift gates and stuff for vans for disabled and they are always on the news about how they did another vehicle free of charge thanks to grant or gov. money.

You have the power of the world at your finger tips....the internet. Get Googlin' www.google.com, another good search engine, www.dogpile.com

Answer 3

Good Luck finding anyone to finance a vehicle that old, unless your credit is perfect you probably won't be able to get them to do it. Even with great credit it may be impossible.
