  1. I don't want a new vehicle unless it's free and then I'd sell it immediately. Your Silverado is now a classic and parts will be affordable until the sun burns out, same as my various Chevy and Ford trucks. I could buy a new truck for cash today because I would never be silly enough to do that in the first place. Your Silverado is simple, easy to wrench and easy to upgrade so even if the engine shucked a rod tomorrow you'd be wise to replace it and drive on.

  2. So buy a used truck with a manual. I do and my 2000 F150 is good for another three decades and easy to work on. What's the financial point of buying a new truck or car? That money is better used elsewhere. Why do people who should know better even care about buying new? Let the chumps eat the depreciation, sales tax, annual property taxes etc on a depreciating asset then buy one several years old and keep it for life (unless you live in the Rust Belt in which case driving south to buy pays off as time is cheap).

  3. Buying new is almost always financially silly so I don't and paid off my house (after choosing an affordable area far away from large cities so I could and did affordably retire young) instead. Americans buy silly items they do not need to impress other people who don't care in the first place. Because I would never buy a new car I can now easily afford one for cash but have zero reason to care. Outside the Rust Belt it's easy to get twenty more years out of a used truck so I do. My latest trucks are 2000s the most recent bought in 2004. They're good for another two decades. I bought my '76 F100 used in 1988 and it's good for another few decades. (Trucks are a breeze to keep long term which saves so much money fuel costs don't matter much.) All the other viewers mourning the end of simple vehicles need to remember they did not SELL for the reason most buyers are not mechanics and don't care about ease of maintenance. If you want one, buy used then sort it out and keep it for life. You'll save heaps of money and what one man can do another can do.
