alright I have a 1985 Dodge D100 4x4 360ci V8 with around 100k on the odometer. I have had it for 4years now, and I only put 6k miles on it. When I bought it for $500 it was in decent shape as it was garage kept with absolutely no rust. Now it has surface rust as I live close enough to the beach to get a little bit of salt spray.
Out of those 4 years I have had to put a new rotor, cap, plugs, and wires on. As well as had the front break lock up so I had to replace the rotor and pads. So all in all I have only put around $200 plus fuel (8mpg average).
Now I am at a cross roads, it needs a new distributor, carb rebuilt/replaced, and new tires. I will probably put a new caliper on the front as I don't know why it locked up in the first place.
So I am trying to figure out what to do. Do I put $1500 into it to make it last a few more years. Or would you sell it for $500+ and along with the $1,500, I would have spent on it, start shopping for a replacement. Probably another early 90's 3/4ton.
What to do?
