Once I was finally awarded 100%P&T by the VA I was given enough backpay to pay off 2/3 of out bills that have been accumulating over the past 2 1/2 years. This increase my credit score drastically. We were basically forced to live on what my wife made and credit cards until my social security and VA Claim(s) were approved so we went about a year or more with me having $0 income. That's tough going from having an $80k/year job to nothing overnight. Well, with the backpay and my VA disability increase we are doing much better.
Well, I have been looking at new trucks for years. We looked at our credit scores and they were pretty good. Ange told me to call a dealer in Charleston (Moses Chevrolet) to see what they could do for us. Afterall, we have one vehicle with high miles and my daughter's car with high miles. Everytime a vehicle breaks down we have to borrow a vehicle from mawmaw or my son. Well, The dealer texted me the link to the credit app. I filled it out and within 5 minutes we were approved!!! I gave him the stock number of the truck we were looking at and 2 hours later we were in Charleston getting our NEW truck. Yes, NEW. The cost of this truck was about the same cost as a used one. We received a lot of incentives that totaled around $9K off the sticker price. I love this truck. It is not FULLY loaded but it has everything we want and need. Ange loves the heated seats..lol What did we get you ask.. We purchased my dream truck, a '24 Chevrolet Silverado LT. The only bad thing is that is does't like to pass a gas station..lol
