Question: Used truck versus new compact pickup

OldSchoolWrench20Community StarterApr 16, 20262024 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51Detroit
2024 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51, about 118,000 miles. Same money buys an older full-size truck with capability I may never use or a newer compact truck with better fuel economy and warranty. Anyone make this switch and regret the smaller truck? I'm in Detroit. Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

I'd treat this like cash with a paper trail. Independent PPI on the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette is cheap insurance versus a seller who “already had a friend look at it.” I'd do that before spending real money. On “used truck versus new compact pickup,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
