I looked in Dallas for 6 months and I don't think you will find one here for $2k that you could drive home. I looked at some dogs when I was searching and they were $3.5k and up. Be patient and keep saving so when you do find the right one your ready.

Thanks grussell. You're absolutely right about Dallas. It will be tough on my budget.

Well guys, I think I have decided to take the '97 with 115k on it. It needs some work but for $1,250 I think it's a good deal. It runs but has a mis.
