Should I keep my truck or sell it and get a different one?
I'm 17 and I just got my first truck. It's a 1995 Ford F150 (5.0 V8). It's sitting in the garage right now because I can't afford to register, insure, and fix it (it needs quite a bit of work). I didn't buy it. My dad gave it to me. I absolutely love this truck but, I think it'll use too much gas. I had my grandfather's truck for a few days and I think it got pretty decent mileage (Ford Ranger) but, I did have a lot of things to do and places to go (so I had to put gas in it a couple times). I feel like if I were to get rid of the truck and get something else but, I feel like I'd regret it. What should I do?
Added (1). I was thinking about doing that because the body is extremely rusty and is way too expensive to fix. The frame might possibly have some issues.
You might be able to get a lot of money for selling parts.
How do you plan to pay for the new truck? It might be cheaper to repair what you have unless you have a good job and can afford $600 -$700 per month for car payments and insurance.
- Why do car companies sell in different countries under different names? Why are companies like Chevrolet selling their cars under names like Holden in Australia? I'm not sure if Chevrolet sells in Australia but I do think they do. If they already sell in Australia, what's the point of selling the same thing under Holden? Another example is some Ford cars are sold under Lincoln, and Chevrolet sells the same thing under GMC. Buick and Opel? What's with this?
- Should Sears and Ford HIRE Dotard McTiny as their CEO and get profitable again! If he can get Foreign Diplomats and American Lobbyists to? Pay $350.00/night to sleep in a tiny room in an old Post Office and keep it FULL and VERY PROFITABLE, don't you think that he could come up with an idea to save 40+ thousand American jobs?
- Should I sell my car and get a cheaper one? I currently own a 2014 Ford Mustang valued at roughly $9670 with 47,000 miles on the odometer. I recently accepted a job that will require I commute 2 hours a day or 18,400 miles per year. I'm currently looking to buy a used car for $1500 or less so that I can save up for a better car in a year or two. Should I sell my mustang?
- Should I get a new car or keep paying off my current one? I have a 2013 Ford Fusion with about 58,000 miles on it. I commute to work everyday, and my job requires me to travel, so I've really put the miles on. The original loan amount was $25k, and I have about $14k left on it. I was considering buying a different car and trading in my Fusion. Would that be a stupid idea? Should I just pay the car off?
