Q: My brother wants to trade his 2005 Ford F150...?
My brother owns a 2005 Ford F150 Super crew. I think he paid $21,000 for it. The truck does worth the money. The truck has custom 24" chrome rims, Kicker Sound System, Gps, Fiberglass Bed, Lin con navigator front grill, and a lot of extras. What is happening with him right now is that his father in law offer him a trade. They are offering a 2001 Chevy Tahoe, 2000 Pontiac Grandprix Gt, and $4,500 cash. None of the vehicle are custom. My brother ask me for my opinion and I told him to stay with his truck and stop messing with the vehicles because he will end up with nothing. I also told him that on the other hand its ok because he will own 2 vehicles and have little extra cash for his personal expenses. I told him that his truck is in perfect condition, and if he does trade his truck he will not know how the other cars are doing and that in the future they may stop working and he will end up investing in them. All I am trying to do is help him since he ask me for my opinion. So I now am asking for your opinion. Thanks a lot!

A: Take the trade. Sell the pontiac and use the cash to trick out the tahoe.
