I understand. I can do basic work on older cars, I like older vehicles. I can do tune-ups, oil changes, and I replaced my water pump on an older Honda CR-V. I am planning to learn how to do brakes. While looking and before I buy I am going to have a mechanic throughly go over everything. I really need and want something the size of the smaller Toyotas, such as the Scat and Chinook. It is just for my daughter and myself and it would be my primary vehicle. Thankfully I do not drive very many miles each day. What I really need to do is make sure I do not over pay for any vehicle. Most of the sellers really think their stuff is worth so much because their vehicles are older and "rare", therefore in demand. I can be patient. You can be sure before I buy anything I will be asking all of you more questions!
I really love this forum, you are all such wonderful people helping everyone with some great advice. I wish someone was out here I could meet up with, but this forum sure helps! Thank you!
