M1009 cost of ownership

[cucv1833]

Mine is just a hobby i would never use it just for a daily driver thats just me. It came from a guy that had got from the LA-NG and is well maintained and everything works. since then ive done put over $2000 in maintance just to feel better about it. I love it and hope to never get rid of it but for the money i have in it i will never get back or could have bought a nice newer vechicle. But like i said thats just me and i have a F-150 and motorcycle for a daily driver. Good luck

I'm a single guy, but I have lots of friends who aren't. So I think I'm semi-qualified here...
If you've got little kids they are time consuming.
If you've got a M1009, and you don't want to pay a fortune to a mechanic, it will be time consuming.
There's only so much time in the day... I'm guessing your wife (and probably you too) would rather spend it with the family.

SELL the 2500 outright and get an economical car. When you get established and your kids are old enought to turn wrenches, buy an M1009 and teach them something.

Just my
