You got that right. While I'd love to have a new truck my '96 Dakota is plenty, 146,000 with no real troubles other than a water pump. You want real longevity though you want a Mercedes Diesel. Mrs. Ludwig drives an '83 Mercdes Benz 240D 4cyl diesel, its got 213,000 miles! I figure in another 70k it'll need new injectors, they're supposed to be good for 140k. It'll probably need its third clutch around then. I use synthetic oil so it'll start easier when its cold and that thing runs like a top. I commute with it a couple days a week to keep our gas costs down. Around here diesel is a penny or two cheaper and the car gets 35mpg compared to my truck's 20.
