It had 36K miles on it when I got it.
It has 199954 miles on it right now. As soon as she hits her 200 thousand birthday, i plan to get a new one.
But the prices of trucks now are ridiculous.
If I get a new one I will have to finance most of it this time.

Don't worry, you'll get a screaming deal. With gas hovering at 3 bucks a gallon and reportedly going up for the summertime, the only people buying trucks are those that absolutely need them. Brand new full sized pickups are going for thousands less than they should be.

Yes, even under sticker they're expensive, but way better than when gas was 1.70 a gallon.

HaRuMaN:
I have a loan for my car, but I'll drive it until the wheels fall off (which is a long time for a Honda, usually).  My wife's '99 civic (paid off) had 256K miles on it and was still going strong when we got totaled by an idiot driving too fast in the snow...   :banghead:

Truecade:
I paid off the vette last year and should have the wife's durango paid off in two years.  I can't wait until no more car payments! 

shmokes:
I hate Corvettes and Durangos.   :P
