Nope, in fact I am looking forward to buying a replacement SUV for my wife at a huge discount compared to what we might have paid a year ago.

Hah, yep, you can get some sweet deals right now on trucks and SUVs.

I see this thread is back from the dead, so I'll update you all.

I never did sell my truck. We sold my Wifes PT Cruiser instead. We decided we would miss the truck too much, so instead I sent a check for $10k and paid it off. So, now I have a 2007 truck with only 8,000 miles on it paid for. My Wife and I work together so we most often times carpool. When we do we drive the Honda Fit. What a great car! We also ride a motorcycle when weather permits. Between the Fit and cycle I'm averaging 45 mpg. My truck mostly sits in the garage looking pretty. Anyway, I thougt I'd update ya'll.

I have a ten year old truck that mostly sits. It is paid for and has less than 100k on it. I only have liability on it of less than $200 a year. It runs great and hauls wood, tows trailers, and navigates snowy/icy roads. I would be lost w/o it. I thought of the "sweet deals" offered now but I have a good one and I believe in keeping them if they're good. Mine isn't so pretty anymore but I'd be like a farmer w/o a tractor to get rid of it. It sucks the gas when I use it but it get's the job done.

Back in 10/06 I traded my paid for BMW X5 for a Camry hybrid. I went from about 17 mpg (premium) to about 40 mpg (regular) and never regretted it for one minute. But, that was before the pricing of SUVs bottomed out...
