cummin' back to a 24v?

I've just put my 05' up for sale and am coming back to a 24'er just wondering what to look out for in say a 01' 02' (or the best year possible) or that ever in demand 98' 12v non 5300 block. I had a 98.5 that I kick myself in the butt for selling. Any help would be great

I put 5000 miles on her in the last 18 months. I hate to see her just rotting there. Plus I figure w/ the money I make I can get a little reg. cab 4+4 six speed and build it with a 7100 ip and ten lps jk

I guess I can see your reason, but won't you take a pretty big hit in depreciation? I don't drive mine as much as I used to, but it's fairly well depreciated at this point. Just my $.02, good luck with your decision.

I figure I'll almost break even but, I should put enough money in my pocket to not have a payment, so yah I guess I'll take a hit but, what the hey at least some one else can enjoy her.

Bingo! Now that's a reason to trade down if there ever was one! Good luck with this, I hope it's a bit step toward being as debt-free as possible. It's a wise choice, even if you have to put aside a few $$$ to handle maintance on an older unit. Congratulations!
