I'm on the hunt for a new (used) vehicle. I'll need to buy one soon, as I'm currently driving a rental. Would you like to help me pick one from my local Craigslist?
Must have AWD/4WD, enough life to last me at least 3 years (around 150k miles is fine), and cost less than $10k.
I'm mostly looking for either a hatch/wagon car like a Subaru, or a smaller/mid-sized SUV like a RAV4, CRV, or Jeep Cherokee.
I'll be moving soon for flatland Illinois, but I'll only be there for maybe a year and then move again to somwhere else. Could be anywhere in the states or in a handful of other countries. My company moves me and I won't have to drive the car there, nor will I really get much of a choice.
Also, I forgot to say, it mus be standard transmission. Non-nogotiable, don't try to convince me to use automatic. It's not happening.
I don't know a whole lot about cars, so any advice you might have would probably go a long way for me.

You may not always need it but pretty fucking sweet to have or know someone with one whenight you get in some shit. Cherokees are like being given away right now at least in my area.

Anything you buy will need some kind of work. The only way to get perfect is to buy new.
Wyatt Turner
from this post... new engine, only 60k miles. Would be perfect if there is paperwork. No paperwork means I have to trust....
"Selling my one owner Forester XT for $6,900 (obo) as I have replaced it with a 2016 Forester XT. Purchased the car new in Albuquerque, NM in 2005 and has been garage kept at my home in Santa Fe, NM. The mileage has primarily been on the highway between Albuquerque and Santa Fe (120 miles RT). The car has not had any modifications and has been maintained. The drivers seat has the typical cracking on the drivers bolster closest to the drivers door. In general, the interior is good as is the exterior. There are a few scratches and very minor dents that are hard to find. The car has never been in an accident nor had any paint or body repair. All accessories function well including the stock radio. The engine has been replaced with a low mileage engine from the same model. The chassis has 180k miles and the engine has about 60k miles (reported to me by the vendor). The transmission is a 5 speed manual.
Tires have about 5K miles New windshield New steering rack and power steering pump New clutch New front rotors and pads Two new front axles Trailer hitch 6 disc CD changer Color silver Roof rack with crossbars Heated seats All weather package Clear bra on the hood, front fenders and front bumper "
Julian Bennett
True, but like I said I'm looking for a newer vehicle. I wouldn't mind a 90s Jeep Cherokee or other SUV, but for car I would rather have a 2000s model. Not to mention that car he posted is kind of.... ugly.
Nathan Davis
>The engine has been replaced with a low mileage engine from the same model.
What would a "low milage" engine mean? As in, doesn't handle well after many miles?

Buy the 1988 awd e30 that's listed for 9500.
Hint: it might be worth 7k tops.

What? I've looked all up and down that page and don't see the miles. Unfortunately lots of work can be a bad thing too. Do you know much about this make/model? Honestly kinda sorta looking for something with more room also.
Mason Thomas
Super high miles, but man I'd be tempted by this 5spd 4Runner with the rear locker:
should get 20ish MPG in mixed driving, maybe even low 20s on the highway if you don't speed. If all the maintenance records check out and its been taken care of, quite frankly even 271k isn't the end of the world at all for these rigs. And your climate means no rust worries, just about the only thing that can kill an older 4Runner.
Robert Watson
E30 is goat. Pretty simple and reliable but since I have to tell you this you're not an enthusiast so it'll be wasted on you.
Just go buy a 4wd truck or pathfinder or 4runner and be done.
condition: good cylinders: 4 cylinders drive: 4wd fuel: gas paint color: white size: mid-size title status: clean transmission: manual type: hatchback Solid car in decent shape. 142K+ miles.
Not as big of a fan of the motors in those, but as long as you keep it rust proofed they are bomb proof.

Looking to trade also for a diesel..7.3 f250 or a 5.9 24v..
Landon Garcia
4runner/pathfinder is good, not interested in a truck.
And yes, it would be wasted on me if it's something precious.
Colton Martin
Also, I'm not sure that I'd consider Colorado to be in the Southwest...
I was looking at the Springfield, IL craigslist (where I'm going), and I see almost zero Jeeps or Subis, or even anything for sale up there, even though they have like 3x the people as where I am now.

1999 Subaru Forester L - $2200 1999 Subaru Forester L
condition: excellent cylinders: 4 cylinders drive: 4wd fuel: gas odometer: 116000 paint color: red title status: clean transmission: manual type: hatchback This little Subie is great. I hate to sell it but the money is going towards a great adventure. It's a 5 speed manual with A LOT of new parts. I drove this car to Las Vegas in July after doing the head gaskets and everything else, and in 110 degree weather, the A/C was cold and the temp gauge didn't move at all. Ask questions and let me know if you're interested. show contact info
Good: At 110,00 mi -Fel-Pro MLS head gaskets -Timing belt -Timing components -Water pump and thermostat -Transmission fluid flush -Rear diff fluid changed -A/C compressor -Expansion valve -Slave cylinder -Front CV axles -Alternator (wasn't bad but my dad dropped it and bent the pulley) -Clutch
I also just replaced the belts for the A/C and the Alternator/Power Steering pump. The A/C blows cold, and the heater makes you sweat. Also has the rear cargo mat, and the cute little net for when you run through the mesa with your groceries in the back.
Bad: I believe the clutch fluid has an air pocket somewhere in the lines. Transmission is perfect and smooth when it's cold but the clutch won't fully disengage with the clutch pedal depressed all the way after it warms up. The clutch pedal isn't sticky after replacing the slave cylinder, I just haven't had the time to try and bleed it again.
Thomas Torres
Honestly I'd try to scoop up something in the southwest and avoid all the rusty shit in the Midwest. In general you will see a whole lot more domestics of all sorts (both SUVs and sedans). A gen 2 Explorer (95-01) could serve you pretty well, I'd go for a V8 model to get the AWD transfer case and the stronger 4R70 transmission.
Alexander Cook
>rusty shit in the midwest What do you mean by that? I can't find much up there anyway.
Thoughts on salvage title? Basically it's just a risk, right?

Not bad here either ... Assuming rebuild engine has papers.
1993 Toyota 4Runner- *fresh motor and in great shape* - $4500 1993 Toyota 4runner
condition: good cylinders: 6 cylinders drive: 4wd fuel: gas odometer: 263000 paint color: red title status: clean transmission: manual type: SUV This vehicle has been awesome for me and my family! However, it is time to let it go. My son didn't want to drive standard, so it is time to let someone else have some fun in this amazing 4runner. I purchased this vehicle from a mechanic about 5.5 years ago. He had done a ton of work on this to get it ready for sale. He rebuilt the engine and the clutch and went over the whole vehicle. (He is the owner of a local Toyota mechanic shop) Since then I have put 15k miles on the vehicle, so you are essentially buying a 4runner with 15,000 miles and these things last FOREVER. If a nuclear attack were to happen I am sure cockroaches and this 4runner would be the survivors.
Below are some of the features of this vehicle: - cruise control - V6 - 5 speed manual - 4 wheel drive - Sun roof - New radio - Toytech lift - Old Man Emu shocks and steering dampener - ARB Front bumper - Smitty winch - Power locks and windows - I am sure I am missing things, so please ask
Overall, the condition of this 4runner is very good, given its age. However, as with any vehicle its age, it has some dents and dings. Like I said it has been a great third vehicle for us. In fact, it is a little hard to let her go. I have put a decent amount of money into this vehicle. The bumper and the winch alone are worth $2,000 installed.
Jason Barnes
What is there to not understand? Buy a car in a climate where corrosion on cars is basically unheard of instead of a place where they get eaten alive by road salt.
Pro-tip:
Try to avoid even looking at cars at used car dealers or car flippers. Buy from private parties. Buy from decent people who know the history on the vehicle and have kept up with maintenance and kept it clean.
Double pro tip: used euro-trash from used car dealers is easily the worst thing you could consider buying.
Eli Cooper
Speaking of salvage title... I've been eyeing this guy.
1991 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 on 37inch Dick Cepek Tires - $3300 1991 Jeep Cherokee
fuel: gas title status: salvage transmission: manual New engine and new clutch Bumper with winch plate 2 ac power inverters 6inch lift New tires new rims Center console is a lock able gun safe
The jeep was stolen a few years ago and insurance paid for it till it was found... so it has a salvage title After the theft a VIPER alarm was installed to prevent theft
Runs and drives great! Also a very good project for somebody who loves off roading
Dylan Edwards
>What is there to not understand? Buy a car in a climate where corrosion on cars is basically unheard of instead of a place where they get eaten alive by road salt.
That's what I don't understand. I don't know jack about the midwest and I'm not all that interesting in moving there.
>Try to avoid even looking at cars at used car dealers or car flippers. Buy from private parties. Buy from decent people who know the history on the vehicle and have kept up with maintenance and kept it clean.
Makes sense. The last dealer I bought from was pretty good though, and I can't really find much that I want from dealers anyway.
>Double pro tip: used euro-trash from used car dealers is easily the worst thing you could consider buying.
I'm more into Japanese and American desu.
Zachary Davis
Xterras are cool. I want one. 11' and up though. Older ones have said to have cooling problems.
Jaxson Robinson
I've heard the '02-'04 have some serious recalls on them.
Daniel Foster
Not cooling problems per se, the ones with automatic transmissions have internal trans coolers built into the radiator. The internal line bursts and coolant and ATF mix, very quickly killing the transmission if not caught in time. Just bypass the factory lines and install a stand alone external trans cooler and forget about it. 3g 4Runners have similar issues (not as often), and the solution is the same.

Zachary Sullivan
They're really pretty darn decent. Again, not being a rusty heap thanks to your climate helps a bunch. Just keep up on maintenance (change fluid in front and rear diff, in transfer case, in transmission) and it should be good to go.
Gabriel Lewis
Any words on 90s Isuzu Rodeos?
Juan Jones
If you're just a normie non car guy, stay the fuck away from modified cars, period. he even states the car needs work in the ad "needs some love"
I'll reiterate, buy a clean well looked after car from a private seller, preferably with some sort of documented maintenance. Not a beaten on Ken Block special.

VIN: JF1GG29684G805051 condition: fair cylinders: 4 cylinders drive: 4wd fuel: gas odometer: 78000 paint color: blue size: compact title status: clean transmission: manual type: wagon 2004 Subaru Impreza Wagon with 5-speed manual.

Will Include Tactrix 2.0 Cable (cable to connect to OBD II). Also have CD Manual that will go with it. And all my extra and new parts for the car will go with it too.
The Bad: It's a 12 year old car, has dents and dings, slight hail damage, swirl marks. Also the instrument cluster was replaced a few owners ago with the 02-03 model with the speedometer in the center (instead of the tach.), so true mileage is unknown (Not a salvage title, but isn't actual mileage). Needs Tires.
Email with questions.
Asking $9,500.00. Will consider partial trade for Dirt Bike (interested in 4-stroke, 150cc or bigger & 2004 or newer), ATV (interested in 4-stroke, 450cc or bigger & 2006 or newer), and/or trailer (at least 6'x12' w/ramp). Selling as-is, where-is, all sales final.

Stay away from the automatics, undersized and known to fry. 5spds are good. Motors pretty decent, earlier SOHC ones are known to get really noisy hydraulic lash adjusters but that doesn't actaully affect how they run, just makes them clatter like a diesel. 98+ V6s are known to be oil burners.

01.5 audi s4 6 speed $4k this week only - $4000 2001 Audi s4
cylinders: 6 cylinders fuel: gas odometer: 165000 title status: clean transmission: manual Hi I have an 01 audi s4 twin turbo 6 speed for sale it's runs good doesn't smoke. It has the 2.7 liter twin turbo with the famous Quattro all wheel drive system. It has a couple new parts and aftermarket upgrades.
The upgrades are
Jhm front mount intercooler Straight pipe cutback exhaust with tip. Aftermarket black wheels with brand new tires maybe have 50 miles. Stage 3 6 puck clutch. Brand new interstate battery New crank sensor Stock radio in great shape The timing belt was done at 125k
The bad is that it won't go into 2nd gear. All the other gears work. I do have a brand new 01x transmission that will come with it but it will take minor modifications to make it fit.
The car has 165k on it but is in pretty good shape overall.
I have owned the car for a while now and some things have come up and I need to sell it but I can only accept cash no trades as I do still owe on the car.
The car books for 6500 and the transmission cost me 3k so let me loss be your gain and have one sweet car. I'm asking $5000 OR BEST OFFER I need it gone so offer up thanks

Troopers will have the same drivetrain, but with more interior room and I'm predisposed to them for being manufactured in Japan, the later 98+ rodeos were assembled in Lafayette Indiana.
fuel: gas odometer: 170200 title status: clean transmission: manual Up for sale is a 2002 WRX wagon. I've had the car for 4 months now, but got a deal on a newer WRX so time to sell this one. The car is 100% stock minus the perrin catback exhaust. The exhaust sounds good and isn't too loud. It's been a fun and reliable car for the entire time I've had it. I recently took it to Vallecito, CO with no issues. Even managed to get 26 mpg on the trip. I'm open to offers. No trades please. I'm usually at work so text is preferred. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
