Toyota Tacoma or 4Runner. Both last forever and maintain their value.

I have a 72' you could get for half that... LSU Forestry division was the original owner, so has a LSU tie in for a bonus

I’d get one of those Dodge challengers or chargers, whichever has the four doors, with the biggest V8 I could get for the budget

I'd be looking at a low millage full size pickup.

Plenty of Toyotas F150's etc etc with 35-40K miles under 40K now.



Plenty brand new ones under 40k. Used trucks down here usually aren’t much of a bargain.

I went into the pandemic thing thinking that. Wrong. The same goes for houses.

I bought a Tacoma and put 5k mikes on it. It is now worth $600 more than what it was when I bought it.

Why not buy anything other than an asset that is all but guaranteed to depreciate?
