Hi Kirk, Here is how I managed to get $10K with almost no interest or other charges.

I had a credit union credit card with no balance on it and an annual interest rate 7.8% and a credit line of $15.000.

So I went to the Credit union and told them I wanted $10,000 cash of my line of credit.

They gave me the $10,000 in cash which I used to buy my Chevy truck.

So now my credit union credit card shows a balance owed of $10,000 and payments of about $200 a month.

Two days later the balance showed up on line., when I logged on to my account.

So I called the bank that was offering ZERO interest for 18 months and no transfer fee and did a transfer from the credit union to Visa bank card with the special offer.

The bank would give me a cash advance but only at a 12% annual rate.

I could have sold off some stocks to get the 10K, but this seemed a cheaper way to go. The $10K stays invested and hopefully grows to a larger sum. $10,000 represents about 275 shares of HPQ. Hopefully HPQ doubles and I repay the $10k and still have some HP stock left.

I bought the Chevy Truck from a private party. Its an immaculate truck that was made right, and well maintained.
