Does it ever make sense to buy a pickup truck used? Chances are, it has been abused to death for some illegal alien construction business and has 1% of its life left.
so buy it for dirt cheap, abuse it till it dies, then get another one
>>28986850There's a bigger chance it's been babied its whole life, driven only to and from the office parking lot and the toughest terrain its seen is a tall kerb at the drive thru.
>>28986854This. Buy a truck from a wealthy boomer and you know it never saw more than a yard of mulch getting shoveled out twice a year. And you know they'll have at least gotten oil changes done on time.
>>28986850No. You should only buy new and give all of your money to (((banks))). Whatever you do DONT buy a used 20+ years truck that is worth nothing, for nothing, and then use it to haul yard waste, furniture, other rando shit and as a spare vehicle for when your daily is in the shop and then sell it for nothing years later. Buy only one vehicle for 10s of thousands of dollars over 7 years , pray it never needs maintenance and donate all of your money to IsrAID so they can human trafficking 3rd world's into your country.
>>28986860Hey bro this isn’t /pol/
>>28986850if you cant tell the condition of the truck yourself then shoot yourself cause i dont need another 70 iq retard on the road
>>28986850In my experience in Cali and Texas, 1/2 tons are well kept.If you are a poor Mexican, you have to keep that truck going for as long as possible
>>28986897This aint reddit brown son, take a hike
>>28986897He's not wrong though.
>>28986854This really depends where you live. Of course in america, euroland and a good portion of australia buys their pickups for style over anything. But almost everywhere else, if it carries 2,200lbs well it will not infrequently see 4,000 lbs.Also this >>28986930
>>28987128I don't really think this is true though. I think it's just a meme that poors and liberals cope with.The city is a small part of the US and Australia. Outside of the city almost all trucks are definitely getting used as intended in the US. And in the city no one really gives a fuck about trucks, when you can buy an m4 or mustang for the same money as a nice truck. My dads got like a $100k truck that's immaculately clean and people probably think this of him, but hes a foreman and hauling and towing shit all the time.
>>28986853this. if the truck was built to do actual truck stuff in the first place, then it will still last a long enough time to more than pay for itself. a little wrenching will go a long way.
>>28986860Nothing more expensive than a used truck
>>28986850trucks tend to be more well-maintained than any other car because truck owners usually take care of their shit especially if they used it for work or if it was a fleet vehicle
>>28986853Yep. I do that for minivans. Tools wear out, just get one that's still good, buy it cheap, use it until it's worn out. Like with any tool, if you take care of it, it tends to last longer.
>>28987268It really depends. Fleet vehicles are well maintained but driven hard by people who aren't paying for said maintenance. Private sellers are a crapshoot no matter what, and even if it's well taken care of they probably wouldn't be selling it if there wasn't anything wrong with it.Also the absolute rattiest clapped out pieces of shit on the road are work trucks because they get used until they physically cannot drive down the road.
>>28986850You don't buy the worktruck that's been beaten to death - you look for the babied 15 year old truck that Mr. Yuppie bought, to look cool and is now sick of it sitting around.
>>28986897go back
>>28987958Where?
Things are getting better but post covidYou either by newor fully depreciated
>>28987250Can buy a lot of parts for a 3k truck before you get to 50kBut my time is worth a lot more hence why I have a new truck now
>>28988998>But my time is worth a lot more hence why I have a new truck nowBut not enough to hire out other men with trucks?I get it though. There's that joke,>a poor man works because he has to>a rich man hires out because his time is better spent elsewhere>a wealthy man works because he chooses to work what he wants to
>>28987158It may not be the rule but it is noticable enough that it has become a stereotype.In my country it is actually more expensive to register a pickup for business and you are required to do so if you use it to carry anything other than personal items. Its a weird backwards system. So anyone who has a pickup for non work related use can register it with a plate that shows your pickup is just for grocery getting you save a little bit but you have the badge of shame lol.
>>28986850pickups are the best thing to buy used ever. that or enjoy paying 80k+tax for a "work truck"
>>28986860>Woah buddy, did I just catch you using racist and derogatory terms against the Jewish community? -1 janny point, chud!
