<prompt> Human: I have a paid for 2011 Tacoma worth around 13k. It bothers me how much newer vehicles depreciate. I feel like Im losing money with every mile I put on it. I feel like I could sell it, buy a car for around 5k, then saveinvest the difference. Im willing to accept the riskmaintenance of the cheaper vehicle. Any big objections?  <response>: I wouldnt neccesarily sell it. At 5 years old the majority of depreciation has already passed. That being said, if you dont actually need a truck youre wasting money for other reasons gas, possibly insurance costs, etc and a 5k car works for you, sure go for it.
