Hi guys, I just recently found out my Toyota Tacoma was on recall for a rusty frame and they are going to make an offer to buy it back at around 150% blue book value.
I'm going to miss that truck but the rust was so bad that it was almost a death trap to drive, so I'm glad I took it in to get it checked out or something bad could've happened.
Anyways right now I'm driving a rental from Toyota until I get final word on my truck but eventually I will have to find another vehicle.
Tell me if you think this plan is stupid :
I was planning on buying my parent's old truck (still good condition, they just don't drive it anymore) for the winter weather and to haul groceries/supplies but still leaving me a large sum of money which I was going to purchase a 250cc/600cc comfortable sport bike to use as my main commuter. This would actually leave me a little more money which I use for investing or rainy day funds. I've owned a motorcycle in the past and love to drive them : great gas mileage, really fun, cheap insurance, going on group rides, ect.
Anyways what would you guys do?
