Spud, what is your plan for the vehicle?

It is tough to find a vehicle to suit specific purposes. Most of us end up buying something to cover possible needs. Like the giant SUV to occasionally haul large items or tow a trailer.

I figured out that I am better with 3 cars. I always have a backup then. Two are older. Ya know. Cash for Clunkers. I paid cash for 2 clunkers and then we have a newer van that we all fit in and has the nicities and I can trust to make it cross country. Of course its financed, but only 2 more years. In order to make sure we can keep it running longer all the little short trips are done with the clunkers.

So far my $750 ranger has lasted 6 months and 7000 miles with no major issues. It hauls tractors, bikes, home depot runs, scrap metal and gets me to work everyday. Only one payment, cheap tag, cheap insurance.


The used trackers are probably a better buy than any of the current products. Less cost up front. Make it the way you want it.
