I've got a 200sx, 104k miles. It's very reliable and I am confident it will last me a long time. I've recently bought a house, and it seems like I'm borrowing a truck every freaking day: grill, pegboard, 2x4's/other lumber, large light fixture, kitchen table, iron pipe for grill, etc etc etc.
I could probably get $4k for the car. It's in excellent condition, no problems with it, etc.
Here's the thing: I ride my motorcycle unless it's raining. I put maybe 2-3k miles a year on the car at most (for the past couple years)... maybe I should just get an old beatup truck for $2k and pocket the rest of the money? I can do about any repair needed that might go wrong with the truck.
Buying a new truck is not an option. There's no point in buying something that is rarely driven, I cannot afford, and will simply depreciate.
