Help me with a possible new truck purchase

[69Nova]

I'm shopping for a new truck. Right now I have a 2004 Ford Ranger 4wd. It's not a bad truck I just want something with more interior room(want a 4 door truck) and just nicer overall. And I think I would like to get rid of my truck while its still worth something.

First I went to Ford and looked at the new Rangers. But they havnt really changed at all. So all I'd be getting within my price range is a new truck with no miles on it and it would probly have less options than my current truck. So I gain a payment(my current trucks paid off) and end up with truck thats not really nicer than the one I already have(except for the fact its brand new).

Then I checked out the Nissan dealership. A brand new Frontier with four doors is 25,000, thats out of my price range. But they did have a 2007 with 4,000 miles on it in my range. One of the manangers had it but traded it in for a bigger truck. It's pretty nice, looks sorta like this..



It's nothing fancy just a nice 4 door truck with the 4.0 engine and automatic. The bed already has been coated with some spray on bed liner, it has running boards, and a K&N air filter system. I test drove it and like the way it drives. It defintly has more power than my current truck and can tow more. Not 100 percent sure but I think the mpg will be similar to my current truck.

The big thing for me is right now I'm not completly sure if I should get a new tuck this year. I could wait one more year and save a few more bucks for a diffrent truck but then my truck will also depecrate(sp?) some to.

Anyone got some advice?? I know I can afford the truck with the right deal but I'm just not sure if I should just wait a little longer and do something different.
