    Some new trucks are too pretty to be considered trucks in my opinion, i would shudder to scratch 'em. Older trucks seem to take a better beating. If I buy an older truck already dented, scratched and broken in, I don't feel so bad if it takes a bit of abuse when I am scrapping. Milage is a big thing for many folks, but my route is pretty short so milage not so important for me.

    20 miles a day for a year adds up. If you actually tracked it and took the deduction you'd get a credit of about 2 grand. Just sayin
