I have a 2007 Nissan Murano & a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado... over $45,000 invested in both... in 5 years they will be worth $25,000 total between the both.... when these vehicles are paid off... all I'm going to drive is old stuff. For $200-$400 a month, thats alot of money I could put in my pocket or towards maintenance of an old vehicle. And that Old vehicle will increase in value, not decrease like my new vehicles...
My wife travels for her job, so she'll always need something new to travel to other cities and states in (plus I feel she's safer away from home), but,... It's old trucks/cars for me...

Well guys I agree that the old is better but I finally bought me a brand new truck on haloween. it's a 2006 gmc crew cab 1/2 ton. It is my first brand new vehicle to ever own. It's just something i wanted. I look at it this way. I have the best of both worlds new and old

New trucks kinda suck because they all bite off of each other and last years looks like this years, and remember these old trucks are "TIME MACHINES" because in 1968 someone went out and bought themselves a brand new yellow Gmc Custom Camper which I own now. It's almost 30 years later and when I get in my truck it's 1968 all over again.

Thanks bodyman .... Trying to get away from the "$10,000.00 plus" paint job. I went satin instead of flat yet I still get the old school look. I can get this repainted for $1500.00 including all the supplies any day of the week. My 50' Chevy in the 47' to 59' forum has the bling.
