    I have 76,000 miles on my 2006 Tacoma. Any opinions as to whether I should keep driving it for years to come, or sell it and get another one?

    Thanks!

    Are you kidding? You just broke it in. Keep it! Mod it! Make it the toy truck once it's paid off.

    Keep it until it dies.....or becomes a hassle to keep taking care of it. Hell, it could go for another 150K miles.

    or keep it if you don't want a bigger payment, with interest rates so low you could lock in really low on a home equity %

    I also just bought a Corolla with 75,000 mi on it. There are very few other vehicles I would buy with that many.
