Ditto on the large vehicle purchase. I've been spending more time out in the wilderness and my 2WD Volvo sedan wasn't cutting it on dirt roads and with little-to-no suspension, so I bought a 2005 Yukon from a good friend. He bought it from the original owner last year for $1100, used his employee discount at CarMax to fix a bunch of small issues, and I picked it up for $2000. It's a beast of a truck, has tons of options even with its age, and the V8 Vortec engines in these cars are known for their longevity. The Volvo has become the long-distance runner while the Yukon is more of a utility truck. With the used car market looking like it is, I could probably unload it for $5k-$6k. Right now it's basically a mini-shop/storage shed/camp site on wheels.
