Listed below are the costs for maintaining a 2004 Chevrolet 3500, long wheelbase 6.0 V-8 slop bucket, for the first 500,000 miles as it came from the factory.
Total:[/B] $15,990 or .03/mile.
I'm just studying the cost of buying new versus used. Do you have any idea on how I could budget for the difference.
aka if I buy new, I would hope for only regular preventative maintenance such as oil changes for the first year.
But if I buy used, I know I'm going to need a bigger emergency / maintenance fund in my first year.
From seeing your truck from new to used, you got any ideas on how I can ratio this out?
