Drive it or trade it....?

If you sell it let me know some of the details about it... I've always wanted a Tacoma.

Well if you don't need this tacoma how much do you really need a newer one? Just playing devil's advocate.

Laramie probably hasn't changed much since you lived here. Still very cold... and windy...
Didn't watch the game but that's awesome, didn't know they won.

Yeah, I worded that poorly..I meant that I didnt need a new one. Be nice, but its really the same truck, just smells better.

[jgang]

The fact that you said "runs like a top" means you're emotionally attached to it and think it's worth more then it's worth, which actually means you're going to trade it in for significantly less then it's actually worth. If you want a new truck get a new truck sell it privately. The dealerships going to rape you based on what I've seen here... At least I would, and I don't even sell cars.

You sound like a shrink...

Just me but since it is a Toyota, keep it. If it was a Chevy or Dodge ....

[RonMexico]

I have my truck,car and Harley all paid off. I was once dumb and into new cars; man I dont miss those day of $549 car payments.
Keep your money for toys, maybe get a motorcycle. With $3.00+ a gallon it will pay it's self of in a year.

If you have to sell stuff and raid the piggy bank to get into a new truck then you absoulely should keep the old one. Only get rid of it if it is nickle and diming you to death.
Plates for a new truck are going to be double what you are paying now.

keep it, put the payment you would have been making into silver. the dollar will go down but silver has an intrinsic value. However, remember silver, like guns, is a commodity and goes up and down in value.

I bought another silver dollar today at a pawn shop. I'm gonna keep religiously servicing my trucks, oil, tran fluid. Hell I even change the brake fluid every year. Belts, plugs, etc. House is paid for, so I am going to keep buying silver. I say keep it and take really good care of it! Put the money into something that will hold its value...

[ChunkyMonkey]

Like the others have said... why bother paying interest on something that depreciate every single day and mile. You own one free and clear.. keep it!

[roberth]

Keep it, you like it, you don't need a new one, it is paid for. Have you done the timing belt/water pump yet?

[jgang]

Paid off long ago. Mobile 1 and a wix filter every 7k, tranny and pumpkins serviced at 75k, plugs and belt at 60k. Thinking of doing the front wheel bearings as a preventative measure along with the upper ball joints. Havent looked into the water pump and timing belt yet. Coming up on the 100k service mark though...
