    I just picked up an early 2000s used truck because I have a hobby where a truck bed is useful. $7500.

    People were trying to tell me that I should get a new one, I can resale it in a few years and it’ll retain it’s value.

    I don’t need a shiny new truck. I’m going to throw wood and sheet goods in the back. And I can actually see out of the damn thing, unlike anything recent.

      Thank god you didn’t actually do that. If car retain value, then it mean the buyer can also afford a new one. Why get used when new one cost roughly the same?
