    My old '86 Dodge Power Ram is tough from the word go. Multiple miles on it. Drive it around town on occasion. Would I make long road trips with it? No. Just because, and will keep it because I want to. I sell my everyday truck before it hits 100,000 miles on it, and get me a new one. Value drops tremendously after 100,000 miles. I like the peace of mind when on the road. And, it works.

    Then again, I do not make payments on anything.

    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 buy a new truck every 175k-200k miles. I don't trade. Old truck becomes farm/field truck. New truck becomes daily driver.

    You can't take it with you, and with today's crazy low interest rates (yes, 0% is available from time to time) it almost makes better sense to use the money than let it sit in a savings account/CD. The utility (usefulness/pleasure/peace of mind) you get out of using the money (buying a new truck) has a value in and of itself.

    Course, that's just my
