    Even if you put 5-7 grand into your truck and made it new again you would still be ahead of the 20 thousand plus interest you would be paying for the next 3 to 4 years.

    If the urge overcomes you put your old truck on craig's list. Set your price at a reasonable amount, no need to be a salesman, it will sell. No matter what they tell you, a dealer is not going to give you more than wholesale on an old truck.

    Exactly. Well maintained older trucks are incredibly desirable In today's market. We never trade vehicles. Sell it yourself and go from there. Lots of people want a truck around that wouldn't put many miles per year on. Hunting, fishing etc. etc.

    I drove my 2003 F150 to 225,000 miles and the guy that bought it now has 310,000 on it. My "new" one now has 170,000 and I will drive it at least another 50,000. At 105,000, that truck is just now broke in!!

    I agree. Don't get ripped by trading it in. You can sell it yourself and get a lot more money for it. One disadvantage of selling it yourself is the taxes you save by trading. You only pay taxes on the difference in money by trading it in, but you'll still do better to sell it if you get enough more money for it. Very desirable vehicle with only 105k on it.
    We only sell the Best. Ranger, Xpress, Yamaha, Suzuki, Tohatsu.

    2003, Yukon with 218,300. Just put new breaks on her and, as far as I now, she's ready for another 200,000. She's old enough that I don't mind runnin into the fields where I hunt, and I sure don't mind using her hard. Religious on fluid maintenance and tire rotation, etc., and plenty happy with the ole girl. NOW....just as I say this, she'll prob lay down and die on me. lol I could spend $3000. on new tranny or engine and still be MANY dollars ahead. Plus the memories.....ahhh, the memories!! So, no, I'd hang on to your old truck and get out of it what it has left, before committing to a HUGE amount just to up grade 4-5 years. Right now ya know what ya got. Another used vehicle and you're dealin with somebody else's issues....way I look at it. Can yawl tell I'm bored????
