Ehhh…

1)I don’t make purchase decisions based on how much something is gonna be worth when I sell it

2)Diesels cost quite a bit more new or used, and the cheaper ones are higher mileage with a body/suspension/etc that’s falling apart around a good motor

3)Everything I said still applys, the fuel savings are barely gonna put a dent into the higher price/payments/fuel cost/etc
