I could go for that... can you tell me about the towing capabilities? If i'm going to end up with an SUV, i'd like it to be able to tow a light trailer with the Celica on it.
If i can't find an SUV that can tow the Celica reasonably well, then i may as well just get an old Audi or something.
I'm interested in a 1st gen xterra. They are quite good offroad from what I read. However, I've read the 3.3 is down on power.
one more quick thought....
I really hate threads like this.....
I worked for a British company for many years and I now have a proclivity against any British automobile. (Beat into me by my british coworkers)
Buttttttt....

no E36 M3.
That last one, the pickup version is the berkeleying perfect.
My dad was looking at Defenders when they were new--the very last year. They were just out of his price range, but he thought they were really cool. Ended up with a used Mercedes. When he went to sell it, he also looked at the Defender prices. He really wished he hadn't.
Just found a '96 Disco on local CL. Asking 2K. Decent looking, decent miles, but they say it overheats after half an hour. Any ideas? To me, overheating is a function of waterpump, radiator, thermostat, but this is from a dealer. EDIT- Asking price is 1200.00

That.
So that would be an absolute misery to repair, or what. I don't need lawn art.
Could be a sunk sleeve too. They do that after the hg has been bad for a bit. My buddy is a LR mechanic and told me to skip anything that 'needs a headgasket' as it could be much more involved and LR motors aren't cheap (even used/junkyard).
These things beg for LS1/4l80e.
Did a little e-bay trolling. That was a bad idea. Range Rover= $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
those things are awesome. also over 10X the budget, id guess.. maybe 20x.

I'm partial to Zuk's last real offroader.
^I would probably drive that, bob...
Think i could score a decent one in my price range, though?
