I like older vehicles they are simpler and cheaper to fix. with newer vehicles with power this and push button that, you have to remember that eventually all this fancy stuff will fail. if you can afford a new vehicle it is probably good for ten years after that you are on borrowed time. lets face it newer vehicles are throw away cars/trucks, that's the way the manufactures want it. throw away and buy a new one. highdesertranger

Still many on road, and usually priced reasonably.
