This probably belongs in the QTDDTOT but fuck it...

2003 Corolla with 160k mileage for $3300. Already checked out the car and it's fine but needs some tuning. Should I bite? The seller is an arab guy. Idk if I should trust this fucker

>t. never driven a 80's or 90's shitbox with an auto
those cars are borderline non-functional without a standard transmission.
>gears that they like to jump out of
your clutch is roasted lmfao
>manual is for staying in lower gears for longer
lolno. Just because you can, does not mean you will do it all the time. I shift at 2-2.5k if I want to drive normally.
>muh slight incline
get good or use the hand brake

lolol remember 3-speed autos + shitbox oil crisis 4cyl engines?

>The seller is an arab guy
run the fuck away from that shit

What a moron.

>arab
the car is a ticking timebomb

He's a young middle class Persian guy if that helps.

Persians aren't Ay-rabs, son.

...same shit. Anyway, I told him I want it for 3000 and he wants 3400 and just lowered it to 3300.

I need a small truck for under $3k, what should i get? i need to be able to fit a 4wheeler in the bed and tow it, and tow an aluminum boat/trailer, and put a kayak in the back/on top. it will be a fishing/hunting truck basically, but i will also drive it around ~700 miles per week to school and back.

looking at frontiers atm, are they any good? would prefer a tacoma but they seem a little out of my price range. i have also seen a few early 2000s 4x4 f150s for around ~$2500, are they reliable? I don't know anything about trucks. thanks
