Old versus New
I currently enjoy a 1996 990 Legend, I must say, a Legend it has been... As the years and miles have past, so has its overall condition. Every appliance works, the unit itself needs TLC to include ...

Put me into the refuse to buy new camp. My truck is a 1996, and my TC is a 1988 Bigfoot. I can't say I take good care of either, but I do fix them when it is needed.
My TC has always been stored outside. I paid $1000 for it in 2004. It was a basic model, no A/C, no battery, charger, TV, generator or other goodies on TCs todays TCs. I added all that stuff including solar, and picked exactly what I wanted. I also added a $2500 stable lift. Total cost including the TC is $9000.
My Dodge is a 2500 diesel 2WD. I bought it in 2001 with 75,000 miles on it. Paid $14,000. Now it has about 265,000 miles with no obvious problems. I have replaced the brakes two times, water pump once, and recently replaced the transmission for the third time. One of the transmissions was rebuilt incorrectly. I have upgraded the suspension, and modified the fuel system.
Because they were low dollar, I paid cash, no monthly payments. My truck does not have to be smogged. I have no interest in a new truck or TC.
