I can also sell you a 92 gmc Sierra half ton for 3 grand if you sell it back to me intge spring for 2.5! Lol..

Hey thanks for the offer. Unfortunately we need an auto trans... 'someone' doesn't drive standard

(not me either!)

if you can find one my riding buddy drives an old Volkswagon Rabbit Truck diesel.

Its the perfect beater! Massive gas milage, its a truck, and it has a bed.

Can find those for pretty cheap and I think they're pretty reliable.

2001 or earlier Audi A4 (I have a 2004) you could probably get for 2-3k, great in snow. Maintenance a little more expensive, but if you take care of them they last forever.

Tell me where you get get a 2001 Audi for that cheap? I just sold my 1999 for 8000. You've got your head in the clouds bud.
