By the time you get all these little issues resolved and then sell it someone is going to get a good truck.
I have to fight myself to NOT do that.
I had a vehicle failure while on vacation once. My BRAND NEW Minivan had a water pump grenade. Van had 2500 miles on it!
Just because you pay a payment does not gurantee that you won't have breakdowns.
I have a 2000 Town Car with a 4.6 and 163k miles and I put 70-100 miles per day on the car. I'm at a similar crossroads. My front end needs rebuilt...my brakes need to be rebuilt...
The parts alone are $600.00 Ish but the car is maybe worth $2000.00... What am I going to do?
It's still cheaper to rebuild and drive than to pay a payment.
But these new trucks are so sweet!
Thanks!
