zeitgeist57 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 ...and I'm not saying your existing ride is "cheap", whatever it is...but any vehicle you already own and are ahead of from a depreciation standpoint is better than buying new and paying taxes, or buying expensive-used, paying taxes, and paying for scheduled/deferred maintenance. My '01 Silverado 4.3L V6 has a 28-29gal tank, costs less than $50 at $1.90ish/gal for regular unleaded at the last fill up I did. That will last me 2+ weeks, depending on my driving. Around $100/mo? That's as cheap MPG as I can ask for, while still being able to haul and pass on the highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny Utah Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 It’s used for 22,000 dollars. For 2018 4cy it supposed to get 28 city and 39 hwy. My truck has 235,000 miles on it. So I don’t know how much time it has left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thank you for the context. That's a lot of miles indeed. Can you keep the Tundra, and get a cheaper commuter? Do you have big kids or other family that necessitates the medium-larger sedan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have big kids or other family that necessitates the medium-larger sedan? I could keep the Tundra and get something cheaper. I have always bought older cheaper vehicles. Just wanted to get something almost new for once. I have one grade school kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRD2BDF Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Sean, treat yourself. If you want a new or newer car with the stuff you want and you're financially stable, GO FOR IT The rest who moans about it being a Camry, automatic, or whatever else, don't worry about them. I treated myself to a nice-ass Durango even though a 4 cylinder car would do the exact same thing for cheaper and better mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
