    Old Junk vs. New Junk?

    Yeah I know, the focus that's currently sitting at the dealer stickered for $25,400 and I got it for $17,400 out the door with taxes and fees, it was an '18 in January of '19 with 1,800 miles on it never titled demo. I basically paid 69% of sticker so in theory you could get this truck for...

    Old Junk vs. New Junk?

    Update time We've decided to keep the old junk for a while. After driving all the new trucks we just couldn't justify they were worth $50k or more. We currently have a 2019 3.5 ecoboost F150 with heated cloth seats loaner from the dealer because the daily driver focus is in for the 4th time...

    Old Junk vs. New Junk?

    We might give diesel a thought but driving 3 miles sitting for 12 hours and driving home is hard on them, I could drive it 50 miles each way once a week to work if we aren't using it for truck duty to get it up to temp. The incentives look much better on a diesel and "dealer advertised prices"...

    Old Junk vs. New Junk?

    Haha, wow this thread derailed quickly. I still haven't decided what to do, the parts to at least get the current truck sellable are on order and the plan is to burn my only day off on this nice 90 degree Saturday to work on it. With my new car I haven't had warranty denial issues though I did...

    Old Junk vs. New Junk?

    So we've driven them all we like the Chevy 2500HD work truck the least, the 2019 RAM 2500 tradesman with vinyl seats (feels like leather) and the 8 speed and 6.4 did have more power but it wasn't big block torque, the base model GMC 2500HD actually felt a fair amount nicer on the inside than the...

    Old Junk vs. New Junk?

    It's time for a new to me truck with 4 real doors. The current truck I've had for 7 years and 90k. The current truck is starting to get into nickel and dime me to death mode, it was great for me 7 years ago but life has changed a bit in that time and I'm ready for a different truck. I've also...

    Old Junk vs. New Junk?

    I'm going to keep my eyes pealed for a used truck but they are not cheap. The cheapest local 2015 GM crew cab 3/4 ton had 75k on it, you could tell was a beat work truck, and they wanted 29k for it, new they are going for 33-35k. Most of the newer used stuff is out of warranty and within 2-3k...

    Old Junk vs. New Junk?

    EDIT: Update in post #74 12/13/19 I've got a conundrum, the current pickup is getting long in the tooth and it's time to replace it with either a lower miles 8.1L suburban or a brand new/ almost new crew cab 3/4 ton. We currently have an '02 2500HD extended cab/ long bed 4x4 with the 8.lL and...
