The way I think about it is; If I had gone to a dealership and bought a new car, say for 20,000, I'd have a car payment of $400 or so a month. With my old GMC Iinstead of throwing $400 a month away on a terrible investment, most of which is going to finance costs, I'm putting it into something that I actually own. If I did end up putting $400 a month into my truck for 60 months I'd have one sweet truck worth much more than a new car would after 60 months on the road.

When you think about it that way, it's not such a money pit.
