You may want to think about looking at a used one from a reputable dealership in town. Last thing you need to do is sink a ton of money in a lemon that can't be returned. I would honestly do a shit ton of research about where to go and what place can be trusted. Since you don't really have credit you will need you dad for co signing and since you're buying used check to see if your banks rates are lower for car loans than the dealer you're buying from. I would also do a credit check on you and your father right before you walk into any dealer and hand it to them so they don't have to run your credit again. Also rethink the above 100k notion you don't want a truck from 07 with 100k + on it. The normal consumer only drives 12-15k a year if the truck has anything more than 76k then that person drove it and drove it hard. Even if its all highway you still don't want that many miles on something that is only 5 years old.

Whats the longest term car dealerships normally allow isn't it like 72 months? Also how much would be a good downpayment? I can afford about 250 a month max

use that calculator to determine the down payment you need to get your 250 monthly payment

once you go to a dealer never ever negotiate the monthly payment or you will get dicked.. always negotiate the cost of the car

http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/auto/auto-loan-calculator.aspx

this calculator says if you owe 13250 at 10% interest your payment would be $245

so if you get a 25,000 car you would need a $12,000 down payment to keep your monthly to about 250
