I will never understand you guys trading in a two year old truck for a new one.
A lot of guys like to buy trucks newish but after depreciation was eaten by the first owner.
Buying right and keeping a year or two makes sense because the value is still there.
.55 a mile adds up.
I get .55 a mile in my 1999 Ford van as well. IF you do the math, buying new is never a money maker. Some guys just like to have a new truck, I can accept that. But it is never a better money maker than buying a quality used truck.
I always buy new, because I can
Remember someone picked their nose in that used truck, and wiped it somewhere close to where your sitting.![]()
Warren said:Don't worry, some guy on the assembly line probably farted on your seat multiple times. Like I said, if you buy new because you like having a new truck, I can accept that. But you guys that think it is better financially are just not good at math. I know my numbers. They include purchase price, operating expenses, resale, etc. I would expect to spend at least $3000a year more to drive new.
I agree with your math, but I am at an age where it's ok for me to spend my money on new vehicles. I had my time in life where I couldn't. I owned plenty of old clunkers getting to where I am today. I paid my dues. Remember it's not the guy who dies with the most money wins. :thumbsup:

Running a nice old truck for work in my town, will get you more attention and work then the schmuck with a new truck. Funny how 6 car and truck museums will do that. I do like the looks of the 2014s though.
