drive it until the wheels come off and then if you can put them back on drive it some more. No way im I in any kinda of a hurry to give the car dealers my money. 105000 miles aint nothing
Got a 2004 f150 s'crew with 105,000 miles. Never a problem but worry about future problems. Hate breakdowns on the highway. Hate to start out on a series of payments since I have gotten used to not having one. If I trade it in it won't bring near what it would be worth to me. I am not a very good salesman so I don't want to sell it myself. Not gonna be much difference between the two trucks. Fighting the urge but I am weak. On a side note I took my company truck in. When I got it back the mechanic told me he couldn't fix my brakes so he just made my horn louder!!
Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

I had that urge a couple months ago. I even had the dealer order it. They kept telling me when it would be here and 2 weeks later and no truck I talked myself out of it. About a week later it came in. They called me and said it was here and I told them to sell it to somebody else. Don't regret it as about a week later I had a senior moment and backed into the gate and scratched it pretty good. I would have really been mad if that was my new truck
I am fighting the urge to up grade from 1/2 to 3/4 diesel. I have around 150000, I really like my truck. I think my camper is just a little too much for it. Plus, I have spent around $3000 in the past couple of months. DP

I hear the new Fords have aluminum bodies now. Wonder how the DC power from the batteries are going to work as I was always told to never ground a aluminum boat from battery. So how are they grounding these new Ford trucks. Also was told that the aluminum was not going to hold up to much abuse like steel body ones. Well with the prices so high I don't have any problem with wanting to purchase a new truck.
Be safe and good luck fishing
On today's vehicals with routine maintaince 105000 is no miles to speak of. Do some minor maintaince and keep driving that sucker. Put that payment in a special savings act every month until you have to buy another one. Find a good low mileage used one and pay cash for it. D****M a bunch of payments and interest. I'm like Scrat, at today's prices I wouldn't buy a new one if I had G's money.
I am struggling with the same issue, but my 2002 SUV has just under 200K on it. I about decided to keep its til it dies. I've only replaced the power steering pump so it has been extremely reliable.
Was thinking I could get more out of it if I traded before it dies, but the age and mileage make it not worth much running or not.
Plus one of my buds has a 2004 Tahoe with 295K on it and he drives it every day.
