General point taken but you can absolutely get out of that situation without losing reliability. You can get a good condition, perfectly reliable Maverick or cargo van for a fraction of that. Maybe $30k at the most, and most contractors will still have the utility they need. And right now, you won't lose much on a private buyer sale of a bigger or more heavily optioned truck.
- gabereiser 4y agoA lot of those cargo vans are being bought to turn into van-life vans. Sure you could get an E-350 used for around $20k but you’d be competing with Mary, the trust fund YouTuber that wants to play “adventuring”. I spent a solid year looking for a good cargo van to turn into something other than a van-life van (more a mobile hacking station… but that’s besides the point). The reality is, one’s transportation here in America is one’s livelihood in many situations.

It's concentrated in certain some makes/models/years just as vanlife demand is heavily concentrated elsewhere. It's probably easier to buy a good small pickup than a big van right now, especially if trading a bigger pickup + accepting cash which would be great for someone in financial trouble.
