Dad’s 8289-Mile Stowaway: 1988 Toyota SR5 4×4 « BaT – The best vintage and classic cars for sale online

Story of selling my dad's '88 Toyota pickup

A lesson in economics to be had here, along the same lines that Mr. Jay Leno mentions here as to what would be a classic.  Buy something you love, and have a passion for.  Others will likely share that passion and your vehicle may appreciate, or at least not depreciate in value much if at all.  After 22 years of ownership my dad's truck, which he loved dearly, lost him little in absolute value, though a bit more in inflation adjusted monies.

Sadly my dad realized there was little point in having it if he could no longer enjoy it (due to health reasons).
