Fullsized Truck Opinion: HiMiNew vs LoMiOlder

(1/3) > >>

rainshadow1:
I’m looking to flip my 30yo OBS powerstroke into a newer, late model, quieter, more car-like interstate driving 3/4 ton.

I could pour money into “Ike” and make it into a modern version of a ‘96, but that just doesn’t feel right to me.

Perusing the market, both in gassers and diesels, I am seeing two clear options:

Option 1: Newer, maybe 5-7 yo trucks in my price range with around 300k on them.

Option 2: Older, maybe 10-15 yo trucks in my price range with under 10k per year on them.

Which would you lean towards, and why?

MADMAX:
Keep the 7.3 and buy yourself a highway rig

Dan-o:
Low miles. 

Simply beciase in my limited experience I have picked up some low mileage older trucks that were awesome values.

Can’t afford to have both.
