250k miles. Sell it or lift it and run it into the ground?

OP..

I can understand your contemplation as a kid, no kid wants to drive an 'older' vehicle; but you really have a good vehicle. The point of having a vehicle that is not brand new at your age is so that you can learn how to at least do routine maintenance- tires, oil changes, etc. etc..

You'll walk away with a good truck and some knowledge at the end of it. Lift it, and take care of it too.

My first car was a Volvo 740gle, it was older than I was. It took me to school and my part time bag boy job. I had a couple cars in between then and now. I wouldn't trade my taco in for a rocket ship.

Hope that sheds some light

 

Yea, 1st world problems I guess. I still drive an 86 scirocco.

 

?

 

Dude, if the frame is good drive it until the wheels fall off. If it is true that your dad gave you this truck I would never get rid of it.

 

Never sell a Tacoma.... that’s the first rule of owning a Tacoma

 

KBB values are not actualized in real life....

 

Miss my 83 gti...my brother had the scirocco. 16V?

 

Keep it maybe a minor lift, keep it stockish an realiable thru highschool an college then mod the ever living crap out of it when you land a decent paying job before settling down. Then buy a good DD.

Haha yesss

Also agree with this!

 

Honestly depends on how you plan to use it. If all you do is city driving then there are better, cheaper, more efficient alternatives. If you frequently find yourself using the bed or 4wd then you should probably keep it. It could give you another 100,000 miles if it has been maintained.

 

Drive it and take care of it

 

What I'd give to have a truck at 16...

If I could turn back the clock, I'd take a tacoma over the VW I had at your age.

 

Blah blah blah rabble rabble

Sell it to someone who will know what they have.

 

Yea, I did the 2.0 bottom end swap. fun little car. A1 VWs are a good time.

 

Oh man. I’m actually thankful I went through about 5 or 6 shit craigslist cars before buying my truck. I’ve always had just enough $$$ to scrape by, forcing myself to work on my own vehicles, and ya know what?? That’s the way it should be.

There’s nothing quite like that feeling when you’re tightening a bolt nice and tight and it suddenly becomes very easy to turn....

 

Keep it, buy a motorcycle for commuting. Or maybe a little car good on mileage.
If truck has no issues, don’t sell it! Drive it!
