I got a beater with a heater (no A/C) that I use for hauling shit, dirt, rock, compost..etc.. I've had 3 guys in the last year stop me as I got my mail asking if I'd sell it.
180,000 miles and its a bona fide rust bucket...but guys are getting desperate for something under 30K that is going to last.
The problem was partially the cash for clunkers, but primarily it's what happened during the late 90's where suburban mom's were marketed too with shit a truck shouldn't have (leather interior, ass warmers, vanity mirrors...etc)
Get yourself a "work truck" and roll the fucking windows down by hand. OR spend the 70 grand.
I have had nothing BUT work beaters all my life (contractor). My business partner bought a shiny truck, but I really need my own...I would love another Astro van but they cannot be found.
