The last time I traded was 8 years ago this week. Bought a 2007.5 used Chevy Durmax with 33,000 miles. Didn't sleep at all that week because I was so sick about trading and getting a new vehicle payment. The truck I traded in was a perfectly fine 1/2 ton chevy with around 115,000 miles.
Anyway, I still DO NOT have the itch and finally learned my lesson. I think that vehicle bug has left me...to me, there are far cooler things to own out there like tractors. I WILL TRADE when I get to doing stuff like that.
Red, I think you answered your own question:thumbsup:
Vehicles are not a good place for your money from a strictly financial viewpoint. Enjoyment, pride & "its easy" is another thing, to each his own.
The "stupid money" they get for a pickup today would make me keep it forever if it were not for business use (write off).
