Bad investment.
Buy a used southern truck from California, Texas, Florida, that is rust free. Drive it home. It INSTANTLY goes up in value the second you register it in Minnesota, due to it being rust free and in good mechanical shape (compared to your local used trucks)
You can get a decent truck in Florida for $3500-$5000 that is good for "house duties" and parking it on the side of the house.
