Which Vehicle Should We Sell?
My husband and I have a 2005 TDI Diesel Jetta and a 2004 prerunner TDR off road 4 door Toyota Tacoma truck.
We need to sell on of these vehicles.
The Pros and Cons:
PROS JETTA:
Diesel and fantastic gas mileage at 40-56mpg.
$9.00 inspection fee every year, very cheap and very safe
It’s a diesel so it is supposed to last for a very long time.
CONS JETTA:
Very expensive to repair and change ANYTHING on the vehicle. Needs special batteries, oil changes, and parts. I can not go to Advanced Auto and get something to use for the car, it can ONLY be done at VW. Needs special tools to remove nuts for breaks, only VW sells brakes, only VW sells batteries, only VW has tools to open up mechanics on car.
Does not start sometimes on mornings that are cold.
Batteries cost $350.00 via VW
Very noisey
PROS of TOYOTA: Toyota’s are generally reliable
It is large enough for a family
Can buy parts at advanced auto and change oil at home and fix mechanical problems at home
CONS of Toyota: High miles at 100k, tires are expensive so replace, and toyota parts can be too.
Low gas mileage at about 15-28mpg.
What do you guys think?
Which vehicle should I sell?
Many Thanks!
What Are Some Good Sites To Find Trucks For Sale?
Ok so 2 weeks ago my parents went fishing, they left around 7 at night and were on their way back home at midnight when someone ran a stop sign and hit them going about 50
my parents were going about 50-55 and the excuse that the man gave them was that he “thought it was a 4-way stop” are you too stupid to even stop at a 4-way cause you think they are gonna stop too when you can clearly see that they arnt slowing down??????????
anyways the man totaled my dad’s pride and joy
he had a 1998, been in the family Toyota Tacoma, 4×4, 5 speed, ext cab, only like 70k miles, perfect running condition, well maintained, very nice truck, lifted, had extras on it, etc. and a nice bass boat that was easily accessible by my papal and my dad’s favorite out of all the boats he has ever owned.
Anyways they took the truck to be junked cause it was unrepairable but he got to keep the boat but its gonna need work and a new trailer—it landed up side down in a ditch cause the impact broke the hitch and slung the trailer around
my dad has been looking for a truck since the day after the accident and he has found a few he liked on craigslist and auto trader but we are running out of luck and my dad can not stand being confined to the house
Does anyone know of any good sites that have trucks for sale that are actually REAL trucks and not fake ads? We live in GA if that helps any. He doesnt wanna buy from a dealer either.
any help on sites would be greatly appreciated
