$20,000

I'm obsessed simply because it is my DD that multitasks from work rig to long haul family wagon to trail rig. I can do some moderate wheeling a few hundered miles away and have confidence that I will make it home. My montero has never stranded me. I exploded my harmonic balancer on the other side of Reno once and still made it up and over the pass near Truckee back to Sacramento. They are much tougher than I thought they would be. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" /> I'm very pleased with the vehicle.

Total cost(Truck, tires,parts). $5000 @ 2.5 years. So far I'm into it for $166 per month and she is going strong. I'm sure I'll have it for a few more years. If it lasts five years thats like 83 something a month. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I have always liked paying cash for a DD. If you roll the thing you wont be too heart broken about it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
