    Hey guys, i need a really good advise, short long story, i got my dream truck a in March, everything was great and them, great truck for the snow and is just amazing, well, my company gave me the opportunity to work from home and i took it, so i have no use for my car now, i am driving 50 miles maybe every couple of weeks, what will you guys do? i am paying 527 a month for car that is parking pretty much everyday, to be honest i'd rather buy 527$ in bitcoins every month than just paying a car that is slowly loosing it's value. What's the best option if i decide to sell it? i am financing the truck, retunirng to the dealership is loosing money, what are my other options?

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    Personally, I'd find a reason to drive it. Plan some trips. Get outdoors. See the world around you. I'd hate to work from home and not go anywhere.

    And if you can work from home...can you work from the road? Go explore and work from your truck.

    That's just me.

    Investing your money in bitcoin wasnt a terrible idea until this year. Its no longer anonymous. So its value is gone, at least for me.

    Find a reason to drive your truck. Or get rid of it, buy an older truck, and use your time at home off work to build it up.

    Your company gave you the opportunity to work from home. Is there a chance they will once again give you the opportunity to work at work?

    Also unsure what a bitcoin actually is, but a good, reliable vehicle is an asset if you ask me.

    Is impossible to advise without a lot more info. Are you upside down. In other words do you owe more than it is worth. Or are you at the point where you can sell it, pay it off and have significant cash left over. Your own financial situation matters too and only you can answer those questions.

    If you're upside down you need to just keep it. If you have significant equity in it selling might make sense and buy something less expensive.

    I had a similar dilemma... up until recently my truck saw very few miles. But I have doubled my mileage in the last 3 months... and I have enjoyed it. 527 is only a large payment if you dont use it. Get out there. Find new places, new friends, and live yo life.

    Well, i don't know if i would like to drive 70 miles a day roundtrip to work, specially now that winter is close and i use to spend almost 2 hours on the road on the snow days, it was like 250 a month on that, i din't care when i was driving there, but now that i know how much i ma saving i kinda like it..

    Indeed a reliable vehicle is an asset when you have use for it.

    Well, youd have to sell it for at least what you owed on it. Then pay off the lender. If you are working 50+ hours a week, keep the truck. So when you get tired of your job, you will have a ride to the new one.

    I think keeping low miles on a new rig is a nice benefit.
