Which one to keep?

[KiNETiCA]

Hello everyone!
This is a trick question...

Out of following two vehicles, assuming both are paid for which one you'd be more inclined to keep?

2022 Ford Maverick XL 2WD ~25k kms, stock.(no issues, squeaks and rattles since new, no rust, paint is really fragile though...)

1996 GMC Jimmy 2WD ~190k kms, stock mostly, MPFI injection retrofit, dead A/C compressor, rest is stock lol (no other issues, squeaks and rattles due to age, no rust, a few paint chips but nothing like the Maverick above...)

Just curious...

Seriously? Obviously the Maverick.

I had to ask, Maverick seems like it may fall apart tomorrow, unlike that old GMC...

More information needed for a thoughtful response.

If you hate it that much trade it in for something else? lol.

Well that's the thing, I do not hate it - gets decent fuel mileage, hauls most of my stuff no problem, just feels fragile and glitchy in general.

You didn't see that on the test drive?

The Maverick but I have a soft spot for that generation blazer. I put 65,000 miles in 1 year on a 99'...true story.

Get rid of both of them and buy a used Toyota.

Haha I'd love a new Tacoma but that may be beyond my budget...

This is BITOG. The Jimmy of course.

Although...

man's got a point, I gotta agree with that.

Nope, on a test drive the vehicle felt solid. After roughly first 10k kms various issues came up with the Maverick, most of them got addressed by a visit to a dealer, except for the rattle lol...

 

[Soft Cars]

Deep six that Maverick!

 

[joegreen]

Would keep the maverick although resale may be high right now. Is it hybrid?

Yup, base model hybrid.

Yes, while there is still money to be had with the Maverick

I have to dispute this, I'm surprised we got 10 responses in before Toyota was mentioned. Toyota is always the BITOG answer.

I've had rental Tacos, there can't be any way the Maverick feels cheaper. I guess anything is possible!

Seriously, if the Maverick is so chintzy, I must test drive one.
