It's a gamble to get a used car you know nothing about when you have a truck you know is at least a bit reliable. My family grew up playing used car roulette and it's pretty damn hard to come out ahead in this scenario. Best to run the thing until it dies while saving up for a new or like new vehicle.

Picking the right used car is important, my 2008 civic I got in 2018 is still chugging

Makes completely sense to drive your car to the tomb. I live in Europe and try my best to dodge European cars. I've been lucky with my used Prius since 2014, aiming at keeping it as long as possible

Learn about cars first and it isn't a gamble.

I know a ton about cars, but short of taking the motor apart there's only so much you can glean from a drive and quick once over.

Then you don't know cars as well as you say you do, because you can check for a whole lot more than that without pulling the engine lmao. Maybe stick to the dealership if you don't feel like you can effectively evaluate it's condition.
