    Year - make - and model and lifetime MPG
    Owners at mercer were running
    I'm trying to decide if I want to buy new or used .
    I'm trying to figure out to cost to run new vs used .

    New breaks like old , except on the new one it's under warranty, I can fix stuff but I would be shelling out money for parts . I'm more trying to figure out the big cost repair side. New trucks even have a tow warranty

    How is it getting parts? I've always been able to work on anything, and I see some nice older trucks around. Just worried I'd have to wait a week anytime I'd need a part.
