Used 4X4 trucks up in price

[MikePal]

Are you looking to a P/U to haul the ATV in the bed ? You might be just as well off buying a trailer for behind the Jimmy.

What about the use for it....

Currently I even pile wood in the Jimmy. But your right I also want it to put the ATV in the back then we can use the trailer to pull the other ATV and maybe a third (Will need bigger trailer than).

I think you guys are in a whole different ball park, GW and I aren't even in the parking lot...we pay less for trucks than you did in taxes on yours

It sounds like he's looking for something around $3K.....I know I haven't paid over $4K for a truck in my whole life...going on the 3rd yr with my latest that I bought at an auction for $3200.

As long as you aren't in a hurry GW...wait for a good deal to come along.

My gawd I hear you about the sticker on new, this is the first new anything I have ever had. Buyers remorse? maybe but I drive so much, 40k per year, I constantly had a payment anyway from constantly buying used every two years. And after 40 years in the coal mines I decided I deserved me a new one lol.

I bought new once in 2008, bought a Accent for the wife (it was cheaper than divorce ). I will never by new again. I usually pay 2000 for a used car and put in less the 500 and it will last me 3 - 5 years. My Truck is almost 4 years old had one big issue with the 4x4 system I think I spent about a 700 fixing it myself. For the cost of that new Accent I could have purchased 7 used Accents lasting me over 20 years.

After buying that Accent I promised myself I would never take my wife with me when I test drive cars, I only went to test drive the new one to see what they were like but the mistake was bringing her along.

I bought a new 2014 sierra just about two years ago now. Best money ever spent. It averages 11l/100 and even better with lots of highway driving. Been to BC and back twice and a couple moose trips to White River. Rides like a car and pulls like a train. All this with pushrods to boot. No Ford ohv cam phazer crap to mess up. Just saying! Good deals on the 2016s now. Upgraded from a 2010 Colorado.

Wait till gas prices go up then all the people that overpaid and now can't afford the feed them will be dropping them like flies and drive the prices way down, just hang in there

I guess if you were concerned about that then you should buy a Ford Fiesta. But good luck putting a Moose in the back!!

I don't drive my truck regularly, it's only used for Camping, hunting, fishing and hauling wood etc. I don't drive it to work I have cars for that. But if I could find a reasonably priced older truck like an S10 or Ranger I would be Happy. Like I said my truck has actually gone up in value compared to what they were selling a few years ago.

Gotcha. Honestly the Rangers ride like crap! Ive owned both s10 and rangers. They stopped making s10s in 2002 or so then the Colorado/canyon came out in 2004. If you can find a decent solid s10/sonoma and keep your Jimmy the parts are interchangable for the most part.

Heck of a cost paying $500 a month on a loan/lease just to haul a moose once a year..better off renting a new truck ($100/day) for the week...LOL

I guess if you have the money to burn away every month, buying a new ride is OK..but unless you actually use that RAM 2500 for work and can right it off, letting it sit in the driveway Mon-Fri because you can't afford the fuel to commute with it, makes really poor financial sense. Vehicle are the worse investment as it is.

Lets be honest here, looking around the CT parking lot on a Sat, very few trucks are ever used to haul stuff.....I'll bet most have never even seen a sheet of plywood let alone a moose
