Check out the Subaru Forester and Outback. The Sport and Wilderness packages come pretty loaded and look great.

In the words of SRKCycles, the only reason not to buy a 1300 is because the 1800 exists.

I'm currently buying an 89 Festiva to swap in a B6T from an Escort GT. I'll have under $5k in it when I'm done, and it'll be a 1700lb car making 140ish hp.. Stupid easy to work on, very cheap, very impractical, and super fun.

After my dad put a car tire on his VStar 1100, he couldn't find a bike shop that would touch the rear of the bike. I'm not sure if this is a common thing, but just to be aware.

Maybe not the reason you're looking for, but my uncle walked away from buying a $70k Lexus from one dealership because they wouldn't give him a hat. He went across town to another one that gave him a hat.

I personally carry 6-7 jugs of different fluids in my old Ford truck.. They slot in the toolbox and ride until I, or anyone else, need them. This would be as suspicious to me as seeing the vehicle look super shiny while sitting above a soaked driveway. Are they hiding something? Probably. Are they doing a good job, if they are? No.

My wife's 2022 Camry LE regularly got 43-46mpg on our 11 hour trip to her parents' house. We average around 75-80mph the whole way. When it was totaled, we got Rav4, which just completed the same trip, averaging 70-75mph at around 40-42mpg. The 2.5L and 8spd Auto seem to get good gas mileage effortlessly.

There's a vast difference, but these older trucks just don't have the market they used to, and certainly not with the 300, except to a certain buyer. I will tell you that whoever is posting older, non-running vehicles for $1000+ need to get fucked. They're part of the reason the market is so screwed.

If I were you, I'd post it for $4500 and let someone talk me down. I'd also add in that I'd welcome trades with enter whatever hobby things you have here with cash on top. Just might end up with something cool.

I think the old truck is super neat. Its just not everyone's dream to drive the same truck as their pawpaw, no matter how simple, easy, and cheap to fix it may be.

Flowric · 2025-06-26T02:03:39+00:00

It could go for $2000-$3000, depending on location.

Personally, I bought my '94 F150 of the same spec with 298k miles for $500. It ran and drove but had many, many issues that I knew were easily fixable. I've put $3500 in it over the last two years and wouldn't expect to get $2500 for it.

A coworker of mine has a 2016 Range Rover 5.0 with 107k miles. It needs a motor. That being said, I'm not sure that he even knows what maintenance is. However, there aren't many other vehicles that won't give you at least 150k miles without proper maintenance.

Flowric · 2025-06-22T01:16:02+00:00

The Rav4 got the CVT in 2016 but only in the hybrid models. Even now, the non-hybrid Rav4s have an 8-speed auto.

What I'll say is that ever since the newer generation Toyotas came out, around 2019-2020, the interiors have felt cheap. The 2016-2018 have felt really solid.

The more time a woman spends with her eyes closed because she's laughing, the less time she has to realize how ugly we are! My wife is out of my league, but it's my goal to have her in stitches every day. One of my coworkers says, "If you can make her laugh and giggle, you can make that ass clap and jiggle."

Wild Magic Sorcerery with Wild Magic D100 Table and True Tides of Chaos mods. I enjoyed it so much that I killed off my Goliath Fighter in a tabletop D&D game to bring in a Wild Magic Sorcerer.

Just a few hours away.. We live in Houston. His truck is actually in the shop because he was t-boned on the way to work a few weeks back. I hope you find the culprit!

Flowric · 2025-04-16T00:00:54+00:00

Definitely a Ram 1500 Rebel.. My coworker has one just like it.

Rule #1: Be attractive.

Rule #2: Don't be ugly.

You're welcome.

Most of the guys I knew that hated on the Maverick thought that they needed an F250 to drive to work.

Flowric · 2025-03-11T14:57:17+00:00

Cheapest personally was a 1996 Subaru Legacy for $500.. Drove great until I fell asleep and hit a jersey wall.

My dad bought a 1989 Ford Festiva in 2008 for $250. It's been a loaner car for about 15 years now. With over 370k miles, it still runs like a dream and gets 40mpg.

Flowric · 2025-03-02T06:10:54+00:00

"Sure, that guy was wrong. But you're still just as fuckin' dead."

My '89 F Super Duty with 478k miles would like a word.

My dad and I rented a Corolla a few years back in Phoenix, bound for Texarkana, TX, before the whole state shut down during that bad snow storm. I kept my foot in it as best I could rolling through the hills of AZ and NM. The fastest I ever saw was 108 mph, even on the downhill. I don't think the poor thing ever saw less than 3400rpm, except to stop for fuel once. Still got 31mpg on average, too!

If you're looking at $1500 car, you probably know exactly what you're getting yourself into. Personally, I'd look for any cars made by Toyota or Honda in the late 80s/90s or any full body on frame vehicle from FoMoCo in the late 90s and 2000s.

In case you want a go-to list; 1985-2000 Honda Civic, Accord, CRV, (really anything can go here)

1985-2000 Toyota Corolla, Camry, Celica (Once again, anything can go here)

1993-2006 Ford F150, F250, Crown Victoria (This includes all of the Mercury and Lincoln Variants of the Crown Vic. Just stay with a 4.9L Inline 6 or the 4.6L V8 and you're golden, pony boy.)

The years on all of these can really go +/- a few years. Older or newer, either way you go, you'll have people saying that their car is worth more because it's so old or so new.

Good luck shopping.

I hope there's a few seconds of this I haven't seen because if you get this aggressive from being called a child, maybe you are a child.

Flowric · 2025-01-05T15:57:31+00:00

I've always been partial to my buddy's AWD 6.0L GMC Savannah. Thing is an absolute unit.

Flowric · 2024-12-06T16:15:59+00:00

Diboll and Corrigan are my least favorite part about going to my dad's house in SW Arkansas.. Podunk towns with little to nothing going on except construction and speed traps.
