Still can't deside what to do with the old 80.
I commute 130 m/day and was thinking of keeping it and getting a car to commute.
If I found a car that gets 30+ mpg for $3000 it would take over 10 months just to pay for the vehicle in gas saving, let alone what ever cost of repairs to a $3000 vehicle would be. It sounds like the commute will be less than a year so buying a commuter car is out of the question.
My option now is either sell the old 80 (while I can still get some $$$$ out) it and buy a newer lower mi 80, or keep it.
My only concern is, can I find a good low mi 80 that doesn't need $$$$'s of repairs and PM's.
If I keep it, I will put over 35,000 over the next year in commuting, that will put the old 80 well over 320,000 mi.
