KEEP or SELL: 2012 Yaris hatch

[bronsin]

Interesting situation.

A truck is a handy thing to have regardless of the circumstances. Although my Yaris does haul almost everything I need to still there will be times it wont.

If it were me I would keep the Yaris. Youre taking a hit when you sell it. Buying a truck is another hit. The Yaris is just the best thing out there period. Im sure your situation will change again in its lifetime.

Physical appearance is financially meaningless.

Just my opinions!

Not true in today's truck market; where fashion is nine-tenths of it all. A vast majority of truck buyers have only limited need for 4wd; yet that's the rage. Someone who's buying a crew-cab truck (the more-common new style now) is really better off with just a CAR.

But it is what it is.

I bought this Tacoma from a Toyota dealer; it was priced BELOW KBB prices. It's 2wd, which is a market liability here; it's painted an oxidized white...as I said, looks like a city-DPW truck, even though it never was.

So I got it, cheap. And it's cheap transport to the gritty yard where I work; and it'll be cheap to move furniture and crap in.

I could take it "home" (my old residence) where 4wd is much-less in demand, and sell it for a $1000 profit. But there's no need for that. I did okay and I'm happy.

I'm leaning towards keeping the Yaris...I just keep asking myself, "What for?"

Oh if you want to include the public anything goes.

4WD also a waste of money. Also non differential front and rear wheels gonna cause problems!

I understand Chevy is selling Silverados for $65,000. Well, some of them.

Pretty crazy.

You, and only you, can truly answer your own question.
