I use my 01' 24V QCSB (185k kms/115k miles) as a secondary vehicle now. I've done all the mods to it I want, to keep it reliable. Just have to keep up with normal repairs and services. It's still way cheaper than a newer truck payment, and they have repairs and services on top as well. I just had box sides put on and the box painted, and looks like a brand new truck. That may have been 5-6 truck payments worth of body work, but it should last another 22 years!
I know the 01' doesn't have all the fancy bells and whistles, as my Charger does, but whatever. It hauls a trailer, or something in the back - that's it's job. There's less electronics to go wrong too! I just have to keep telling myself that!
