Its one heck of a good bargain, now that I do it I see why people love older cars. I will have written off what I paid for my truck this April, so at that point its almost free.

Actually, you can't do both. You can charge up to $0.50 per mile (at the moment) for using your personal car (that money is not taxed); or you can have your business buy your car and write off the actual un-reimbursed expenses on you corporate taxes. Let's not get greedy.
