New verses Used

When you look at the costs of operating. Is it better to buy a used truck or a new truck? I am leaning toward the latter. Looking at what repairs can and will be on used, one major breakdown can more than wipe you out. If you take what you have to put away for used, and put it into new upfront. It looks to be the same. I have looked at dealer warrantees (EFFEN insurance polices) are not worth the paper they are written. They will deny your claim because they will say that you the truck in some way that you were not supposed too. I know that new will be more $$ up front, but running the #'s it looks to be close in the long run.
