I couldnt do it, 30k, the investment vs the reward. Why do you think the populous had to bail out the auto industry. Minimum wage = guess ? 17500 a year. New ride = 3 times that for std diesel truck. Realistically, Axles $2500, nice body $5000 slip over the border $2000?, awesome motor $15000, what you gonna do? TBI 350 starts to look sweet at $3000. Do you really have to pull the hills at 85mph. Consumer based economy & biased to the "loan" system. Mike is right cheap wheels are the better deal. Dave Ramsey is a good read in the own your ride aspect. Really Id give you a good dmax cause the injection & turbo s**t is so expensive, sucks but the waste is omnipresent here.

I read his stuff. And I'm actually following most of it
1. It's over 4 years old (7to be exact) so it's done it's initial depritiation in value
2. Its much less than half our yearly household income. (Less than half of just the wife's income alone) even if I didn't count
3. 1.89% finance. That's like d**n near free money. (Not like my buddy's car loans. One is 9.5% other is at 12%). Dumb bastards
4 . I will probably with my past history own this thing for the next 20yrs. I find things I like and keep hold
5 but god d**n that's allot of money
The main reason I want it isn't for me. To be some as s hat in a diesel truck
But to take family on vacations. Take my kids out to ride every weekend. Teaching them to ride. Going to the snow. The sierras and Colorado and Utah it will not be a daily driver. I have other vehicles for that. Oh and I own all my other vehicles outright.
But d**n that's a lot of money

Pay extra on your home loan is all I can manage, still stuck on the 1 month savings. I saw what you were driving & it is smart choices . Tried to sell my kids on the buick 3.8 :? kids think your dumb though. Lotta cash for sure but if the life adventure gain is immortal drag that baby home.
