twistedfocus1647545489 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Cherokee (not really a sedan or a truck though). Maybe an older Legacy or Outback? I initially thought DSM too, but I assume you intend to get something reliable.:gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 1st gen s10 with the 2.8? Good gas mileage and 4x4 doesn't usually complete but the 2.8's aren't too bad at all. Not as gutless as the second gens with the 2.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as gutless as the second gens with the 2.2 been there done that. 86' S10 2.8L V6. That truck is extremely under powered and heavy. but good suggestion about a newer 4cyl. S10. I was also looking at an impreza or Legacy. but they are so damn hard to find and they have head gasket issues. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.8 in my 91 has quite a bit more pep than the 2.2. Seen this a couple days ago and you'd be able to keep some cash with it. Just sucks about the floors but looks cooler than shit. http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2455632139.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I was also looking at an impreza or Legacy. but they are so damn hard to find and they have head gasket issues. ... Those are the best to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Those are the best to buy. That's what I was thinking, though I understand not wanting to buy something that will need work immediately. Here's a local 93 Legacy L w. reasonable miles. Typical shitty CL ad without a pic though: http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2484898016.html High mileage 99 Outback: http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2455353674.html High Mileage 98 outback. Actual pics on this one (fucking CL:dumb:): http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2443736850.html Supposedly all of these "run well". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 what is that? i also forgot about the galant vr4 It's an AMC Eagle. Very cool, but rust buckets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Also, there are countless Cherokees on CL or various forums in that price range if that meets your criteria (again, not a truck exactly). They tend to be very dependable vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Could always go Comanche. Damn cooling systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Could always go Comanche. Damn cooling systems. Yeah, I guess that's more like a truck at least. Still unibody but has a bed. The closed cooling system isn't awful really but is easily swapped to open. I always talked about swapping the 90 to open if it gave me trouble but it never did. I didn't notice that Geoff mentioned good fuel mileage in the criteria. I don't know what your current truck is, but a Cherokee may not be vast improvement in that department (~20 MPG hwy). Probably no worse than a Blazer or similar though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaewsky1 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 It's an AMC Eagle. Very cool, but rust buckets. My buddy had an AMC Eagle. That thing ran forever and ended up rusting out. I think it would have kept going if not for the rust. He was not very kind to it either but it ran like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
