    I don’t see how how that math works unless you expect to make vehicle payments your entire life. As soon as you get a vehicle like that paid off, the repairs are still minuscule compared to what you make in payments per year. These trucks going for 60k carry a payment of at least 1200 a month over 5 years. That’s a mortgage payment on a small home or land. Those payments alone are 14,400 per year in vehicle expense. Massive repairs may cost this much, but those repairs are not necessary every year on a vehicle with under 150,000 miles. A truck payment is a guaranteed expense. You’re assuming that you are going to have about a 3500 repair bill every quarter at minimum, which just doesn’t normally happen on a truck.

    Example: 1) I have a new truck that I pay for with zero issues. That truck is going to cost me around 14k that year if I buy something in the $60k range.

    2) I have a truck/vehicle that is paid off and the transmission blows. I spend $10k-13k out of pocket for replacement.

    You still spend less money out of pocket with a major mechanical failure on a paid off vehicle than you do making payments.




    Edit: I’m not trying to say don’t go get the truck. If you want it, get it. Heck, I pay $900 a month for my wife’s Yukon that I never really drive.
    This is absolutely true. The problem is that most (not all) people can not come up with $13-15k for a truck repair even if the truck is paid for. The American public isn't wired like that anymore. The $1000 that is saved when the truck payment ends is spent on something else, not saved.

    That being said, I haven't had a truck payment in 6 years but I am thinking real hard about getting a new one. Just can't decide between the Ford or a Dirtymax to replace this old 7.3.

      Ford. I was going back and forth between the Duramax and Stroke when I bought my F-350. The new L5P was having too many issues to feel comfortable with it, so I was looking for a leftover LML. I made the mistake of driving the F-350, and that was it. The next day I placed my order for exactly the truck I wanted. I’ve been a diehard Chevy guy my whole life.

            Bought my f250 in 2008, V-10 gas, I only have 60,155 miles on it as of today, walked out for $32,000.00, looked at new ones other day here in Sherman, with everything I have on mine to get a new one was $69,000.00, so guess I will keep driving this one till it falls apart

            God Bless

              Wow! Not to derail but did anyone ever imagine a few years ago saying $62k for a truck is a “hell of a deal?” Bought a new duramax work truck two years ago and my mind was blown with a couple upgrades and it was significantly cheaper but Dang it knocked my socks off. It’s really insane when you think about it. Imagine what they’ll cost in another 5 years, yikes!

                  How'd he blow his motor at 8,000?

                      OOOHHH! Right....reading is hard!

                      But still, at 42k miles? Just trying to learn from others trials so I can avoid it.

                              I would say that most everyone that buys a brand new truck is buying because they WANT a new truck. You can justify it a million different ways if you want to convince yourself to buy a new truck. But there is absolutely no way you can convince me that a vehicle is anything more than an expense that you will never recoop the money spent on it. I was told a long time ago by a gentleman with a lot more money than most that you should never finance a vehicle unless That vehicle is 100 percent responsible for at least 2x its monthly expense in profit for you.
