    Default WTB: Reliable Used Car/Truck

    I need to get something reliable and bigger than a Miata for my son in college. Let me know if you are or know some trustworthy guy is selling. It can be a car, a truck or anything in between. The main thing is that I do not want to invest any time or money to keep it going...been there and is still doing it!

    I have a 1991 Toyota Celica GTS about to go up for sale. See linkie for lots of pics.

    Its not perfect, but is reliable with lots of new/newer, important parts-
    like new clutch master cylinder, new clutch slave cylinder, newer clutch, newer timing belt & seals & belts (the rest of them).

    It has a few miles on it- 200K, but I still drive it 'cuz it's reliable.
    Its in great shape on the interior and good shape on the exterior.
    I am the 2nd owner- since 59K miles in 1996.
    Let me know what you think.

    Maybe a Ford Ranger truck? There are a million of them out there, so parts are easy to find. I might buy one as my "have around" truck.
