Or, and hear me out, I can rent a truck for the one time a year I need one. 20 bucks for a few hours from uhaul vs.... 20,000 more for a big truck over a commuter car.
That's what I keep thinking about. Like sometimes I would love an older, smaller styled truck. It could be really useful, but it sucks they aren't really an option anymore.
But then I think about it, and how often would I use it? I just bought a TV and had to have it delivered because it wouldn't fit in our car. We recently moved, and it would have been great.
But other than that, I honestly can't think of any time recently I've needed it.
If practical a trailer is a good option. Get a tow hitch and just rent a trailer when you need. Moved house with my Suzuki and a 6x4 enclosed trailer.
But remove the tow hitch before reselling the car because the buyer might try to argue extended wear on your car through towing stuff
I have a hitch exclusively for a bike rack, could just say that.
but wouldn't the buyer be right? why mislead them?
It absolutely depends on how often you use it. But if you leave it, I can almost guarantee that you will get a lower price for it, even if you only used it once. I agree that, if you are using it regularly, you need to be honest about it
