Soulkus,
That is what I want, not to have to worry about fixing/repairing it and can haul things. But you are lucky on the $1k and 125k miles part.
OldE,
one of them came apart while my wife was driving
O_O OMG. Was she ok?
Honestly, I have been using truck as less as once every several years. But now I am getting older, and family, I will be repairing the house so I think I will need it more often. Beside, when I feel I need it, I usually put it aside by telling myself "will do it when I have a truck".

For $1000 I don't care if I have to pub a couple hundred into it now and then, and the truck is so simple I can fix it with a hammer and pliers 
The insurance on it is just liability and it's probably $300 a year IIRC. I don't use in for commuting, but if I'm going out to a construction site or way out location, the fuel cost is acceptable for not having to tear up a nice car. (and I can expense te mileage)
Old trucks are everywhere for cheap. |
