Well, my beat-to-hell 1996 Tacoma has seen it's last foray into the back forty of Maryland and more recently, West Virginia. This sumbitch has never failed me in blizzards, off-roading or just to help someone who needed a couch moved.
The odometer had 220,000 miles on it.
Now, this truck didn't actually die, Toyota had issued a frame recall on their trucks from 1995-2000...[ame="http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=238100"]link[/ame].....so, it was advantageous for me to take this offer, and run. They will pay me 1.5 times bluebook value, in mint condition, retail! Which equates to roughly 8 grand. They also provide you with a loaner until the money arrives.....
....so today, I purchased a 2005 Outback with 24,000 miles for 14 grand. It ended up costing me only $6000, and where I live I need a 4X4 or AWD, so I just couldn't pass up this deal.
