Question

Brent would like to start a small landscape business this summer. He has a lawn mower, but needs a truck to

carry the lawn mower and other supplies. He has saved $5,700.
Since his uncle knows a lot about trucks, he decides to ask him for some help. His uncle recommends a few
truck models and suggests that he pay attention to how many miles the car has. His uncle reminds him that he
will need to pay for the sales tax and license for the car. Brent sets aside $800 for these expenses. He does
some research and finds the following trucks within his budget:
1996 Ford F150 2000 Toyota Tundra 1998 Chevrolet 1500
red
white
red
8 cylinder
6 cylinder

automatic
124,365 miles
106,675 miles
120,325 miles
$4,495
$4,899
$4,795
Brent thinks about how much he will need to pay for car insurance. He thinks that it would be a good idea to get
quotes on auto insurance for the models that he is considering. He also thinks about the truck's gas mileage and
how the truck was rated.

Answer 1

I would buy the 2000 Toyota Tundra. Yes it is the most expensive, but it is the newest so it should require less expense money for problems, it is a manual transmission 6 cylinder so it should get better gas mileage, and it has fewer miles. The rankings of these trucks are not provided, however a Toyota tundra is considered to be a workhorse in the truck. If this is an opinion question, that's my choice.
