00_XJ Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I drive a 97 truck that has 170,000 miles on it. I'm about to graduate then going to work full time this summer and take night classes in the fall. When I start working I'm gonna do a lot of shit to it and if the motor/tranny goes out then I'll drop a new one in. I have a back up truck so I'm not worried about down time. The only reason I'm going this route is because I can't get a loan for a new truck or else I'd go that route. Honestly if you have maintained your truck well then it shouldn't be that big of a deal. My truck was owned by an old guy before me that did all the maintenace possible and it still runs like new. I've seen plenty of vehicles running strong after 300k.

Torres Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 x2 on 300k miles. my gf's car has damn close to that many. and so far runs fine. i'd be wary of spending money on a paint job tho. the wheels you can take off at least. the paint you cannot if something were to happen to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossgator Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 yeah but im like the 5th owner of this truck. i got it with 150k miles on and i always maintain it. i dont do stupid shit in it but idk what they did with it and if they took care of it. only damage ive done to it is shaking it with my bass LOL.

keitare Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I would get a new chevy. I absolutely love the look of the new chevy 1500 single cab. Or buy a used truck with less miles and has the body style you like.

bossgator Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) i like ext cabs and dont wanna do a blowthrough but will if i have too..i like my 2 10s on 3000.. but more wouldnt hurt.. and i will start going to dealerships soon and see what they have.. i live in redneck county and people always abuse their vehicles so i wont really find a truck here in good condition. edit: if i do get rims and the paint job on it i will take out the backseat and get 2 more 10s with another saz3000 or get 4 more and get 2 more saz3000s.

McLovin Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) I just bought my 97 silvy and it has 250k on it. Motor and tranny are both strong and like new. Edited May 15, 2009 by McLovin Quote Credo Quia Absurdum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camino_1to3 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I would invest in another vehicle. You're graduating, think about what you need and not what you want. Save all your money towards college and learn a trade, then fulfill your hobby dreams.
