Not sure on whether our trucks are more durable or not and getting one with low mileage doesn't guarantee it's going to be good on maintenance and repair. There's still the age factor. Rubber and plastic rot, metal rusts, critters ...crit? Beauty is subjective. Their style is dated as 90's trucks and there is a prestige factor in driving something newer. And these trucks' value is on paper lower than $10k. An insurance company wouldn't pay that kind of money if it was totalled.
But I'm sure someone out there would sell someone a low mileage 90's truck for $10k! And enjoy the hell out of that extra $4k.
I'd much rather pay $5-6k for that same truck and keep the rest in my pocket.
On the flip side, if anyone really wants a low mileage 400 and will pay $10k for it, let me know and I'll definitely find one.
