I just graduated collage and the transmission went out on my suv so I need a ride to get a job I can get a truck for around 10k or a bike for around 5k. bike is cheaper all around but what about rainy days and truck would be nice but I just cant afford a reliable one anyone have an opinion im stuck on the fence

Find an early 2000s chevrolet with 150k miles. Should be $3-4k and good for another 50-100k miles. That's all we have in our fleet, we keep them until 250k usually

that's exactly what I want a Silverado in that year but where I live they go for around 7k with 200,000 miles and if you try to talk them down they wont budge its crazy I guss because im in the south truck have more value idk
Senior Member
Damn. i need to sell my truck over there
i just saw an 01 2500 4x4 with under 200k sell for 1900.

I know its nuts and I want something clean to I figured If I have to pay 6 or 7k for a piece of crap it would be better to spend another 3k and get something nice that I will still like down the road when im still making payments but dam that's a lot to spend when I don't even have a job yet and I cant get a car because im too big and I need to tow stuff

If you truly need to tow stuff then get the truck.

I don't have a motorcycle license but I race dirtbikes so I can ride pretty good and the transmission did not go all the way out on my suv just reverse the still forward works so I can still haul stuff if I got a bike but who knows when it will goes out all the way

If you don't already have a working car, you shouldn't get a motorcycle. You'll still need a car in the winter or rainy days.

I found a 06 Colorado with 8,000 miles for 7k. Go to government auctions and small dealerships. Motorcycle sounds cool but you will regret it soon as its cold and rainy!

Just remember if you buy a used vehicle with over a 100k on it you could have the same problem but now you have a
broken down vehicle and a car payment.
Go to a salvage yard get a used one and put in yourself and save some money.

Well my 05 Silverado was giving me problems and I really needed a plow bad.400 yd driveway so I bought a 04 Super duty 3/4 ton Ford with a 8.5ft Fisher V plow.I paid 11000 for it.Not bad totally redone flatbed and got 7000 for my price of junk.I really dislike Chevy trucks.

I've got an 05 f250 song dog. I love it.
But i really do like the chevy gas motors. Maybe because I'm so familiar with them, i don't know. I don't have a problem with them
