I recently changed jobs and now need to provide my own vehicle but get paid the IRS mileage rate. I've had a company vehicle for the last 20 years so am kind of out of the loop on this kind of thing. I personally own an '04 Chevy Silverado with 94k miles that I think we'll keep as I know the history, it's clean, and my son just got a school permit.
I'm expecting to put on 40-50K/year driving in the upper midwest and would prefer a half ton 4x4 Chevy crew cab as I'll often times have passengers and a lot of driving will be on country roads. So do I get a new one and take the initial hit on depreciation but get better MPG and warranty? Or do I get a couple year old model with 25-30K miles?
Or wait for the Dodge ecodiesel and get 28 MPG?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
