Re: New vs. building old one
I was in the same boat recently. I was considering a diesel to haul my travel trailer. I found an 88 crew cab dually on CL for 3800 and it had 30k on clock. I did the math on the cost of the diesel VS. The 88 no comparison. I couldnt drive the diesel enough to make the numbers work. Even 9 mpg on the gas hog dually compared to 17 mpg with the diesel i was way ahead money wise. Even with the cost of new tires still ahead. 600 a month x 12 mths a year is 7200 x 6 yrs is 43,200? Thats a lot of cash. I recently parked that gas hog next to a friends 50k diesel. He asked me "what the hell ate you doing in that gas hog?" i just laughed and shook my head. Some people will never get it.
