Stradling The Line

Well after years in this forum I'm now on "the line". I broke the budget today. Picked up a new tow vehicle for our T@B 320S Boondock trailer. A 2019 Tacoma DBCB 4x4 Sport. We love our 2003 Tacoma DBCB, but with 200k on him and crossing back and forth across the continent dragging a trailer we felt it was time to update. And the mountain grades kinda irritated him last month throughout the Smoky Mountains. My wife so much likes Taco (the 2003) she wants me to clean up her BMW 3series convert, and list it on CL. She wants to take over Taco as her driver. It looks like we're a 2 Taco couple for the time being. Funny thing is I could probably sell the 2003 Taco for double of what I could get for the 2005 BMW convertible.

 

A former coworker had a 2010 BMW 3-series X-drive with like 83K miles on it. My base model 2010 Taco is worth only a couple grand less than that BMW!

 

I will be lucky to get 7ish for my 08 X5 with 80k on the odo.

 

BMWs don't hold their value because they are expensive to fix, and the majority of them are leased...
