if you like to wheel it or plan to, keep the Toy and fix it, in the long run you will be money ahead.


Somtimes I wonder if Im money ahead.....

I suppose it depends on
- do you like doing woprk/maintence yourself
- do you want ot modify the truck?
- how crazy are ya about mods and maintence

(I have a 1989 Gen1 4Runner that I bought NEW and which now has 355K - Its only been driven about 5K in the last 4 years tho)

For some people - that $300 (or whatever) monthly car/truck payment is a "transporation" fee.

Ive found that I average aroudn $100 a month for maintence items (includes $ things like new tires every 30-40K, new battery every 5 years or so etc). So that leaves $200 a month for mods huh? (not according to the CFO tho).
