Let's talk about beater pickups.

Confused thread is confused. It was supposed to be about pickups, and somehow SUVs and vans got in?

He mentioned Jeep Cherokees in his original post. I was just following that.

Mazda B-series.

I got this guy down to $1650. Looks fairly clean. Being an automatic means I can share the truck with friends, family, or whomever.

Opinions?

Buy it. They're good little trucks for cheap, especially if it's fairly rust free. Parts are cheap and they're easy to work on, I think the only issue I recall is my friend had one that smoked a bit, but it had over 200k miles on it too. I'm not sure how reliable the auto trans are in them, but it sounds like a good buy if it's clean.

Its mazda, so its the closest you'll ever get to a Miata.

Anyway, if you end up going with a dodge, don't worry about the trans. I've got your fix. Fairly easy process and should fix all the problems so long as the trans hasn't been too badly damaged, just ask Dieselman

Well, its pretty silly for one guy to own three cars.

Wait... what?

I definitely didn't get that memo.

PS bumping this thread cos its good and my buddy is looking for a truck.
