sounds like a good idea. around my area, truck/suv prices are dropping like crazy. '06 f-150, reg cab, 2wd, v-8, automatic, low miles..... guess how much? $3,000.

there are still people that use trucks, that need trucks. buying a second rig (a gas sipper) is another payment, more insurance, and more regular maintenance/repair. those $500 beater cars that nobody wanted 5 years ago are selling for many times that now.

yup! ever look at the resale value of an explorer sport? its an SUV, so the car people don't want it. its a 2-door, so the soccer mom's don't want it.




if gas/deisel prices keep going up, i bet you will eventually find a deisel owner desperate enough to take on a project like this.
