    Rich, that's basically how I look at all vehicle purchases now. It's very unlikely I'll ever buy new again. Much more more cost effective to buy a good used car or truck now.

    My wife doesn't complain at all about any vehicle I buy. Of course I did have to buy her an Escalade to get her to stop whining
    Mine got a Sebring convertible!

    I bought mine a 2000 durbango and because it uses to much gas, she got her mom to buy her a 99 century.
    Its paid for and I owe $20,000 on the durbango.

    Purchase of '68 M715 $875
    280mi roundtrip to Portland Maine to pick it up $35
    Purchase of '69 M715 parts truck $500
    740mi round trip to upstate NY to pick it up $100
    Replace tires on car trailer after blowout 6 miles from home $390
    Replace 1 pair leaf springs on car trailer bent by exploding tire $85

    for a grand total (so far) of $1985..significantly less that the aproximatly $25K I've spend building my Bronco over the last 12 years. Add to that the purchase of an F350 for 12K and a car trailer for $2400 to haul it with......

    Much more will be spent as soon as I sell my Mustang and crotch rocket

    it's all good..................

    You guys are gonna laugh! Clean 67 M-715 Free, given to me by father in law. rebuilt 230 hunk of junk, about $3,000.00 worst investment. New kick panel, new top, currently undergoing engine change, about $1,000.00 other misc. add up to about $6,000.00 so far and still not finished, but when done it will be just the way I want it. My wife drives what I buy her and is happy, of course who wouldn't be happy driving a Jeep 92 cherokee, good wheeling rig, dependable o.k mileage, future project for me. Fisherman
