2008 Honda Ridgeline RTL, original owner. 200800 miles, waiting to sell it but can't find a good reason to drop 50k on something that does the same thing, zero issues with it.

15 charger. I travel for work a lot it’s got 269k on it. Surprisingly it has been an amazing car. It started having a minor tap about 30k miles ago. Other than oil changes, tires, and a tuneup I’ve spent zero money on it.

For all the OT baller talk, I'm seeing a lot of 20 year old cars on here with high mileage.



I think the OT ballers know how to properly budget their expenses

My post was intended as a compliment. The car industry is a racket now. Too dependent on expensive electronics that will surely work perfectly until the warranty expires.

2007 Toyota Tundra, 137,000. Was going to sell this year to get a Ford Lightning. But I got rejected for a Lightning build this year and now there are the upcharges.
Need to fix a noisy door and clean up. Still runs very well.

1992 Ford F-150 Custom, 300 Inline 6, 384,251 miles still drive regularly. In great shape and will keep forever.

2006 Ford F-150 Lariat Crew Cab 5.4 Triton V-8 with 218,732 that I drive daily.

May by something new when I retire in about 5 years but would prefer to stick with old school vehicles that don't have all the electronics that I don't really need.

2012 Ram 2500 HD diesel. 150,000, or so.

It’s moth-balled, because I have a company rental at the moment.

Trying to decide keep or sell.

Was rolling for 15 years 2006-2021 on a ford sport trac. Gave me 14 good years and 1 shitty year 185k miles. Had to have it hauled off of my driveway. Now driving my wife’s 2014 Fusion with 100k miles and got her a 2022 GMC Acadia last year (which will be mine when the Fusion dies and we buy something else).

I will never have more than 1 note and I pay off all vehicles in 2-3 years unless someone loses a job or some other force majeure event doesn’t allow.

If it's pre-def, keep it.

Look at the market for F250/F350 and excursions with the 7.3 diesel. That dodge might make you some money one day.
