I suppose when you come down to it, I`m not opposed to the concept of "new" as much as I am opposed to the folks that trade in on a new vehicle every 2-3 years, even though they have had no problems with them. The idea of getting something new and taking care of it makes sense to me, then it should last for many years, not just 3. I will never do it, just because there is no new pickups that my mechanical mind can tolerate, I don`t like the way they are built, but if others want to get a long life out of a new vehicle, that is fine, but trading in just to stimulate the economy makes no sense to me. I am more concerned with my personal economy.
This whole topic makes me think of an older guy I used to work with, he was a truck driver who owned his own rig, and everything he drove he bought brand new. He is still driving a `75 Peterbilt that has had every wear item on it replaced several times, but he does it before there is a breakdown, and I have never seen him miss a day of work from having an old truck, and the pickup he drives everyday, he special ordered from GMC in 1976, still a sharp looking truck, and it does not leak oil in peoples driveways, either.
