Do you need a newish truck? In your situation I'd be inclined to spend $2000 buying and fixing up something that barely runs and selling the current vehicle. In two years you should be able to buy a new vehicle again at normal rates and get rid of the junker. Worst case for that would be something like donating it for a tax write off. In the end you should still come out ahead with extra cash and a slightly newer new vehicle.
- matheweis 5y agoThat’s fair, and definitely something I’ve done in the past.. the tradeoff is whether the time and money spent wrenching on the old vehicle comes out ahead. I’d have to think about that carefully.
