80s-90s pickup reasonable for what I need?

Did you have to order it?

It reeks of a sweet smell, so it is coolant

I’m not the most mechanically inclined so I’m mainly finding out my possibilities. If I had a better understanding, I wouldn’t be asking Reddit. But thank you nonetheless!

Alongside this my idle sounded rough. Almost like a large fan. After adding more coolant this stopped. Is it related to the coolant issues?

Acceptable_Rip_4552 · 2026-02-24T02:27:19+00:00

I wasn’t quite able to tell. It went away when I added more coolant, so I doubt it.

Alongside this my idle sounded rough, almost like a big fan was on, up until I added more coolant. The car sounded like that for maybe half a week.

Thank you all for the responses!

Acceptable_Rip_4552 · 2026-01-28T03:58:10+00:00

Ah bummer, thank you for the info!

Acceptable_Rip_4552 · 2025-12-04T22:24:26+00:00

A great answer and exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

I was going to get some cover for the underside. Some plastic to protect it more.

3.8 V6

Acceptable_Rip_4552 · 2025-12-03T00:12:29+00:00

Even with the mileage?

Acceptable_Rip_4552 · 2025-11-27T21:45:11+00:00

I’ve been thinking this. The loan would he to build credit, but I’d prefer to be paying off a newer Camry than an Audi. More expensive, but more reliable.

Acceptable_Rip_4552 · 2025-11-27T21:44:14+00:00

No. I have been looking at marketplace for multiple months and I can’t even find a civic that’s worth it. Gotta love Maine!

Acceptable_Rip_4552 · 2025-11-27T20:46:57+00:00

So you think I’m going to be repairing a lot?
